The formulas
- Taxable income = income - standard deduction - personal exemptions (when applied), not below zero
- Tax = 2% to $3,000, 3% to $5,000, 5% to $17,000, 5.75% above
- Standard deduction $8,750 ($17,500 joint) for 2025 and 2026
- Personal exemption $930 per filer
- Virginia income tax = tax from the rate schedule
How it works
Tax year: 2026.
Virginia taxes income at 2% to 5.75%. Enter income before state deductions and choose whether to apply the state standard deduction and personal exemptions, or enter taxable income and switch them off. The tool computes state income tax only; credits other than those named are not applied.
Virginia's rates are 2, 3, 5 and 5.75 percent, the same for every filing status. The standard deduction is $8,750 ($17,500 joint) for 2025 and 2026. Each filer and dependent claims a $930 exemption, and $800 more for age 65 or blindness (dependents and the extra amount not applied).
