Progressive 2% to 5.75% state income tax

Use this free Virginia paycheck calculator to estimate your 2026 take-home pay after federal tax, FICA, and state withholding.

How Virginia Taxes Affect Your Paycheck

Virginia uses a progressive state income tax with four brackets, topping out at 5.75% on taxable income above $17,000.

Virginia does not impose broad local wage income taxes like many Ohio cities, though some localities use other piggyback-style taxes and fees outside regular wage withholding.

Because the top bracket starts relatively low, many full-time workers see most additional taxable wages withheld at 5.75%, adjusted by filing status and pre-tax deductions.

Other Virginia Payroll Taxes

Virginia does not have a separate employee-paid state disability insurance payroll deduction. Most paycheck variation comes from federal withholding choices, pre-tax benefits, and state bracket calculations.

Federal Payroll Taxes Still Apply

No matter which state you live in, paychecks include federal income tax withholding plus FICA taxes. For most workers in 2026, FICA equals 6.2% Social Security (up to the wage base) and 1.45% Medicare on all wages.

Higher earners may also pay Additional Medicare Tax (0.9%) above the federal threshold. This page's example uses standard single-filer assumptions for a quick benchmark.
