How the Virginia salary calculator works
This Virginia paycheck calculator starts from your gross pay, subtracts pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) and HSA contributions, then applies the 2025 federal standard deduction and marginal brackets. Social Security is withheld at 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000). Finally, Virginia state income tax is applied to your state taxable income.
