How this is calculated
// Virginia taxable income = gross pay − pre-tax deductions − standard deduction + exemption
Virginia Tax = bracket_tax(virginia_taxable_income)
Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Withholding − Virginia Tax − FICA − Pre-tax Deductions
// Both federal and VA withholding use the annualize → bracket → divide method
// (IRS Pub. 15-T). Additional Medicare uses a flat $200,000 threshold regardless of
// filing status — that's the real payroll withholding rule, not a simplification.
// 401(k) reduces federal/VA taxable wages only. Health/HSA/FSA reduce those AND FICA wages.

Frequently asked questions
No. Virginia has 4 tax brackets — 2%, 3%, 5%, and 5.75% — but the top bracket starts at just $17,000 of taxable income. That means most full-time workers end up paying close to the top 5.75% rate on the majority of their earnings, even though the bracket system looks graduated.
$8,750 for single filers and heads of household, $17,500 for married couples filing jointly, for 2026. Virginia also adds a separate personal exemption ($930 single, $1,860 joint) on top of the standard deduction — this calculator combines both into one effective deduction.
No. Virginia cities and counties do not levy a separate local income tax. Most Virginia localities do charge an annual personal property tax on vehicles, but that's not a payroll deduction.
