Virginia’s income tax brackets are progressive on paper but compress quickly, with the top 5.75% rate kicking in at just $17,000 of taxable income. As a result, most salaried Virginians effectively pay close to the top rate on the bulk of their earnings. The calculator below applies Virginia’s 2025 brackets alongside federal tax and FICA to estimate your take-home pay in the Commonwealth.

How take-home pay works in Virginia

Your paycheck starts with your gross pay. From there, the federal government takes income tax based on 2025 marginal brackets and your filing status, plus FICA — Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on high earners).

Virginia taxes wages with four progressive brackets for 2025: 2% on the first $3,000 of taxable income, 3% up to $5,000, 5% up to $17,000, and a top rate of 5.75% on income above $17,000. Because the top bracket starts at a low threshold, most full-time workers pay 5.75% on the majority of their wages. There are no separate local income taxes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Virginia income tax rate in 2025?
Virginia uses four brackets for 2025: 2%, 3%, 5%, and a top rate of 5.75% on taxable income over $17,000. Since that top threshold is low, most workers pay 5.75% on most of their wages.
Are there local income taxes in Virginia?
No. Virginia localities do not impose a separate income tax on wages, so paycheck withholding is the state bracket rate plus federal income tax and FICA.
Why does Virginia’s top rate apply so soon?
Virginia’s top 5.75% bracket begins at only $17,000 of taxable income, a threshold that has not kept pace with wages. That is why even moderate earners reach the top rate on most of their income.
Does Virginia have a state income tax?
Yes. Virginia taxes wage income. The calculator above includes it in your estimate.
How is my take-home pay calculated?
We start from your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax (2025 marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200k), and your state income tax. Any 401(k) and pre-tax deductions are removed before income tax is figured.
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Texas, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Living there usually means a bigger paycheck.
Is this exact?
It is a solid estimate using 2025 federal and state rates and standard deductions. It does not capture local/city taxes, credits, or unusual situations. Treat it as a ballpark — not professional tax advice.
What is FICA?
FICA is the combination of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Together they total 7.65% of most wages (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages).
