1. What is the Virginia Hourly Pay Calculator?

The Virginia Hourly Pay Calculator estimates your net pay after Virginia state taxes for 2025 based on your hourly wage and hours worked. It helps employees and employers understand take-home pay after state tax deductions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Virginia pay equation:

Where:

• \( \text{Hourly} \) — Hourly wage rate in dollars
• \( \text{Hours} \) — Number of hours worked
