How your Virginia paycheck is calculated
Virginia subtracts the standard deduction, then a $930 exemption for you, for your spouse if you are married, and for each dependent you enter. The result is taxed at 2% on the first $3,000, 3% on the next $2,000, 5% on the next $12,000 and 5.75% above that.
Federal income tax is estimated separately from the 2026 federal brackets. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 and Medicare is 1.45% of all wages.
