About Virginia paychecks & taxes
Virginia's schedule tops out at 5.75% — and that top bracket starts at just $17,000 of taxable income, unchanged for decades. In practice, nearly every full-time worker pays 5.75% on most of their wages, making Virginia a de facto flat-tax state.
No Virginia locality taxes wages, and the state honors reciprocity with neighbors like Maryland and DC (you're taxed where you live, not where you commute). The estimate here is close to the complete picture.
