How Virginia paycheck tax works
Virginia has a progressive income tax: 2% up to $3,000, 3% to $5,000, 5% to $17,000, and 5.75% above $17,000. The same brackets apply to all filing statuses. For 2026, withholding uses an elevated standard deduction of $8,000 (single) / $16,000 (married filing jointly), plus $930 per VA-4 exemption. The elevated standard deduction is scheduled to revert after tax year 2026 to $3,000 single / $6,000 married.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs Virginia's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables.
