Limits and Important Notes
How the Virginia Paycheck Calculator Works
Annualized wages are reduced by the Virginia standard deduction, $930 per entered exemption, and any additional state deduction.
The remaining amount uses brackets of 2%, 3%, 5%, and 5.75%, before annual withholding is divided by pay periods.
Formula
Virginia taxable wages = annual wages − standard deduction − exemptions × $930; tax = progressive 2% to 5.75% schedule
Example
For a single employee with $52,000 annual taxable wages and one exemption, modeled Virginia taxable income is $52,000 − $8,750 − $930 = $42,320 before applying the progressive schedule.
- Age-65 and blind exemptions are not separate inputs; include them through the additional state deduction when appropriate.
- Nonresident allocation, reciprocity, exempt status, special credits, and supplemental wages may differ.
- The increased standard deduction is scheduled to sunset after tax year 2026 unless Virginia law changes.
