Virginia has four brackets from 2% to 5.75% (the top rate applies above $17,000, so most earners pay an effective rate near 5.75%). Social Security is exempt.
Note on 2026 figures: Virginia rates and brackets are stable, but the exact 2026 standard deduction is being confirmed against the Department of Taxation (enacted base $8,000/$16,000; a higher figure has been reported). The base figure is used here.

Estimate for 2026, based on annual tax brackets — not exact paycheck withholding or your final tax liability. Excludes local taxes, pre-tax deductions (401(k), health premiums), and credits. This is general information, not tax advice.
How this estimate is built
Your take-home pay starts with your gross salary, then subtracts four things: federal income tax (calculated on your salary minus the 2026 standard deduction, across the IRS brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high earnings), and Virginia state income tax. Virginia has four brackets from 2% to 5.75% (the top rate applies above $17,000, so most earners pay an effective rate near 5.75%). Social Security is exempt.
This is an annual-bracket estimate, not the exact amount withheld from each paycheck (employers use IRS withholding tables) and not your final tax bill. It also excludes pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health premiums, and any tax credits. It is general information, not tax advice.
