Virginia Tax Calculator
Virginia taxes income through a tiered bracket system, and the top bracket kicks in at a comparatively low income level, so many Virginia taxpayers pay the top marginal rate on a meaningful share of their earnings. The same bracket schedule applies no matter your filing status. Social Security is not taxed, and older residents can claim an age-based deduction. This calculator applies Virginia's current brackets to your entered income.

How Virginia income tax works
- Virginia layers several brackets, and the top rate applies starting at a relatively modest income level.
- The same bracket schedule is used for every filing status — there's no separate table for joint filers.
- Residents aged sixty-five and older can claim an additional age-based deduction before the brackets apply.
