Estimate your Virginia paycheck after federal & state taxes (VA)
* Estimate using 2024 federal brackets and Virginia state tax data. Does not include local taxes.
Virginia has a graduated income tax with four brackets ranging from 2% to 5.75%. The top rate kicks in at a relatively low $17,000 of taxable income, meaning most working Virginians pay the top rate on the bulk of their income. Virginia offers a standard deduction and personal exemptions. The state does not tax Social Security benefits and offers an age deduction for seniors.
