In Virginia, taxes deducted from a paycheck include state income tax, federal income tax, and FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare). The Virginia state income tax is progressive, ranging from 2% on the first $3,000 of taxable income, 3% on income between $3,001 and $5,000, 5% on income between $5,001 and $17,000, and 5.75% on income over $17,000. There is no local income tax in Virginia. In addition to state tax, federal income tax is withheld based on the federal W-4 form, which considers filing status, income, and dependents. FICA taxes are withheld at 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare, which are matched by the employer. Self-employed individuals pay the full 15.3% (employer plus employee share). Other deductions affecting taxable income may include pre-tax contributions such as 401(k) plans and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Post-tax deductions could include union dues or wage garnishments. To summarize:

• Virginia state income tax: 2% to 5.75% depending on income brackets
• Federal income tax: varies per W-4 inputs
• FICA taxes: 7.65% total (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare)
• No local income tax in Virginia

An example from a paycheck calculator shows roughly 5.14% state income tax withheld, about 15.68% federal income tax, and 7.65% FICA taxes, totaling approximately 20.81% of gross pay deducted for taxes.
