Virginia uses a four-bracket progressive income tax with a top rate of 5.75% that kicks in at just $17,000 of taxable income. This Virginia paycheck calculator combines federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Virginia state income tax to show your real 2026 take-home pay.

How Virginia state income tax works

Virginia's brackets are 2% on the first $3,000 of taxable income, 3% to $5,000, 5% to $17,000, and 5.75% on income above $17,000. The same thresholds apply to both single and joint filers — Virginia does not double brackets for married filing jointly. Because the top bracket starts so low, most workers pay close to 5.75% on the bulk of their wages.

Virginia offers a state standard deduction of $9,680 single / $19,360 joint, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before applying brackets. That deduction helps offset the low top-bracket threshold somewhat.
