West Virginia state income tax calculator
Estimate West Virginia income tax using the 3%–6.5% brackets (2025/2026).
How this calculator works
Step 1 starts with the West Virginia taxable income you already calculated on your return. If you are a part-year resident or nonresident, the tool applies the West Virginia income percentage you provide to focus on West Virginia-source income.
Step 2 applies West Virginia's progressive brackets to the taxable income to estimate total tax.
Step 3 summarizes the effective and marginal rates so you can see how additional income would be taxed and whether your current estimate matches your expectations.
