Virginia paycheck calculator, 2026
Virginia uses a four-bracket schedule whose top rate begins at a very low income by modern standards, so nearly every full-time salary is taxed at the top marginal rate. In practice Virginia behaves like a flat tax with a small graduated section at the bottom. Personal exemptions are claimed on Form VA-4 and are worth a fixed annual amount each.

This is an estimate of payroll withholding, not tax advice, and not a prediction of your final tax bill. Withholding is what your employer sends in during the year; what you actually owe is settled when you file.
