Calculate your Virginia take-home pay
How your Virginia paycheck is calculated
Your paycheck is your gross pay minus federal income tax and FICA. For 2026, this calculator applies the seven federal brackets (10% to 37%) to your taxable income, which is your gross pay minus any pre-tax deductions and the $16,100 single standard deduction. FICA adds Social Security at 6.2% (on wages up to the $184,500 cap) and Medicare at 1.45% on all wages, with an extra 0.9% above $200,000.
Unlike Texas or Washington, Virginia does levy a state income tax, so this Virginia paycheck tax calculator also subtracts it. Virginia uses four brackets — 2%, 3%, 5% and 5.75% — on income after the $8,750 single standard deduction. This Virginia paycheck calculator combines federal tax, FICA and Virginia state tax into your net pay. Bookmark it as the paycheck calculator Virginia residents reach for each payday.
