How Your Virginia Paycheck is Calculated

Calculating your take-home pay in the Old Dominion involves accounting for federal taxes, FICA contributions, and Virginia's specific progressive income tax brackets. Unlike states with a flat tax, Virginia utilizes a four-tier system that ranges from 2% to 5.75%.

Virginia State Income Tax Brackets (2024)

  • 2%: On the first $3,000 of taxable income.
  • 3%: On income between $3,001 and $5,000.
  • 5%: On income between $5,001 and $17,000.
  • 5.75%: On income over $17,000.

Mandatory Payroll Deductions

Regardless of where you live in Virginia—whether it's Fairfax, Richmond, or Virginia Beach—your employer is required to withhold FICA taxes. This includes 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare. Federal income tax withholding depends on your W-4 settings and filing status.

Example Calculation

If you earn an annual salary of $75,000 as a single filer in Virginia:

  1. Gross Monthly: $6,250.00
  2. FICA (7.65%): $478.13
  3. Federal Tax (Est): $812.00
  4. Virginia State Tax: $335.00
  5. Estimated Monthly Take-Home: ~$4,624.87

Note: This calculator provides estimates based on standard deductions ($14,600 Federal / $8,000 VA for single filers). Actual results may vary based on local taxes (though VA has no local income tax), 401k contributions, and health insurance premiums.
