Virginia Tax Calculator

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Virginia Tax Calculator

The Virginia Tax Calculator is designed to help you estimate your state tax obligations easily. Follow the steps below to efficiently use the calculator.

Step 1: Input Your Annual Income

Locate the field labeled “Annual Income ($)”. Enter your total annual income in this field. Ensure that the amount is positive, as the calculator requires a non-negative number. This input is mandatory for the calculation process.

Step 2: Select Your Filing Status

The calculator offers three options for filing status under the “Filing Status” label:

• Single
• Married Filing Jointly
• Married Filing Separately

Select the option that best describes your filing status for the tax year. This selection is also a required step in the calculation process.

Step 3: Enter Number of Exemptions

Proceed to the field labeled “Number of Exemptions”. Input the total number of exemptions you are claiming. This number should be a non-negative integer. Be sure to provide a valid entry as it is required for calculating your adjusted gross income.

Step 4: Add Any Additional Deductions

If you have any additional deductions, enter the amount in the “Additional Deductions ($)” field. This field allows for supplementary deductions beyond regular exemptions. Although not mandatory, including additional deductions can help refine your tax calculations.

Step 5: Review Your Results

After entering all required inputs, the calculator will generate the following results:

• Adjusted Gross Income: This amount is calculated by deducting your exemptions and additional deductions from your annual income.
• Taxable Income: This is derived by applying certain standard deductions based on your filing status to your adjusted gross income.
• Virginia State Tax: The calculator estimates your state tax liability using your taxable income according to Virginia’s tax revenue rules.
• Effective Tax Rate: This percentage shows the proportion of your annual income that goes towards state taxes.

Upon reviewing the results, you can make informed decisions or adjustments as necessary. The calculations above assume adherence to Virginia’s tax regulations and provisions.
