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.

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.
