Sources and how we calculate

Published by Financial Calculator. Editorial policy. Publisher attribution, not a claim of professional review.

West Virginia brackets and standard deduction come from the West Virginia revenue department's published 2026 figures (rolling verification recorded in our data files). City and county income taxes are not included.

Figures last checked on November 10, 2026. Read our calculation methodology for data sources and update schedule.

How We Calculate & Keep This Accurate

We subtract the 2026 standard deduction from gross income, walk the federal brackets, then apply the West Virginiastate standard deduction and brackets to the same income. The combined marginal rate adds both top rates because both taxes hit the same dollar. Credits, pre-tax deductions, and local taxes are not included; the paycheck calculator models those.

West Virginia tax bracket FAQs

Common questions about West Virginia and federal income tax brackets in 2026.

What is the West Virginia income tax rate in 2026?

West Virginia has progressive income tax brackets in 2026, topping out at 4.58%, on top of the federal brackets.

How much tax do I pay on $75,000 in West Virginia?

A single filer earning $75,000 in West Virginia pays about $7,670 in federal income tax and $2,638 in West Virginia tax — $10,308 combined, an effective rate of 13.7% (standard deduction, no credits).

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?

Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income; your effective rate is the average across every dollar. Only income inside a bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so moving into a higher bracket never makes your whole income get taxed harder.

Does West Virginia have local or city income taxes?
