West Virginia capital gains tax estimator
Estimate West Virginia tax impact from a single sale.
How this calculator works
Step 1 calculates your capital gain using cost basis and sale proceeds. If you provide dates, the tool classifies the holding period for reference.
Step 2 adds the gain to your other West Virginia taxable income and applies the progressive brackets to estimate the incremental tax tied to the sale.
Step 3 shows the West Virginia tax impact. The marginal rate depends on the bracket applied to total taxable income.
