Virginia Hourly Paycheck Calculator
This Virginia hourly paycheck calculator turns your hourly wage into take-home pay. Enter your hourly rate, the hours you work per week, how often you are paid and your filing status, and it estimates the federal and Virginia taxes withheld and what lands in your bank account each paycheck. It multiplies your rate by your hours to get gross pay, then applies the same withholdings a salaried worker faces: federal income tax using the IRS 2025 percentage method, Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base, Medicare at 1.45%, and Virginia state income tax withholding from the Virginia Department of Taxation brackets for tax year 2025. It is ideal for hourly and part-time workers, for checking a payslip, or for comparing a new wage. Straight time is used (rate times hours); for overtime, add those hours at time and a half. State Disability Insurance where it applies, and any local income taxes, are not included and are noted separately. The federal rates are official IRS figures and the Virginia brackets are sourced from the state authority.
