A Virginia paycheck calculator is a payroll planning tool designed to estimate net take-home pay for employees in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia levies a progressive state personal income tax with rates ranging from two percent up to five-point-seven-five percent across multiple income brackets.

It supports options for pay cycles, filing statuses, and tax exemptions. Employees use it to calculate net wages.
