What to do next
How it works
The calculator starts from your income after pre-tax contributions, subtracts West Virginia's standard deduction and personal exemptions where they exist, and applies a graduated state income tax with 5 brackets from 2.11% to 4.58%. Personal credits come off the tax. West Virginia allows a personal exemption of $2,000.
Things to keep in mind
West Virginia has no local income taxes. Itemized deductions and state-specific credits are not applied, so filers with large deductions will owe less than shown.
Some West Virginia rules, such as high-income phase-outs or special rates on certain income, are left out of this estimate. The state revenue department's own calculator or instructions have the full detail.
