Virginia applies modest progressive income tax rates from 2.0% to 5.75%, making it one of the more tax-friendly states on the East Coast.
1. Virginia Progressive Tax Brackets
Virginia uses progressive tax brackets, meaning higher portions of your income are taxed at higher rates - up to a top marginal rate of 5.75%. You only pay the higher rate on the dollars that fall within each bracket, not on your entire salary.
| VA Taxable Income (Single) | Marginal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $3,000 | 2% |
| $3,001 to $5,000 | 3% |
| $5,001 to $17,000 | 5% |
| $17,001 and over | 5.75% |
2. Deductions and Conformance
For 2026, the Virginia standard deduction is $9,000 for single filers and $18,000 for married couples filing jointly. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Virginia taxable income.
