Frequently asked questions
Does Virginia have a state income tax?
Yes. In 2026, Virginia taxes wages at 2% to 5.75%, depending on your taxable income.
What is the Virginia standard deduction for 2026?
$8,750 for single filers and $17,500 for married couples filing jointly. There's also a personal exemption of $930 per person.
Are there local income taxes in Virginia?
No — Virginia cities and counties don't generally charge a local income tax on wages.
What else is taken out of a Virginia paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000), and Virginia income tax. Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance lower your taxable pay.
Why is my real paycheck a little different?
Employers withhold based on your W-4, which may include extra withholding, other income or deductions. Benefits such as HSA, dental or commuter plans, and local taxes also change the result. Treat this as a close estimate.
