Virginia income tax calculator 2026 – how it works
Virginia uses a progressive state income tax system with four tax brackets. This calculator applies the Virginia income tax brackets to your taxable income and adds the tax from each bracket to estimate your total Virginia state income tax. Virginia applies the same income tax brackets to all individual filers. Differences in tax liability usually come from how taxable income is calculated, including exemptions and deductions applied before the tax rates.
Examples
Example 1: With $30,000 in Virginia taxable income, the lower brackets apply to the first portions of income, while higher rates apply only to income above each threshold. Example 2: Increasing taxable income from $60,000 to $70,000 does not re-tax all income at the highest rate. Only the income above the top threshold is taxed at the highest rate.
Limitations and important notes
