HOW THE VIRGINIA ESTIMATE WORKSWhat the 2026 calculation includes.
Virginia’s progressive tax rates are 2%, 3%, 5%, and 5.75%. For tax year 2026, TakeHomeMeter models the published $8,750 standard deduction for Single/Head of Household and $17,500 for Married Filing Jointly, plus a $930 exemption for each modeled taxpayer.
What can make your actual paycheck different?
