West Virginia Tax Calculator

The West Virginia (WV) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year and estimates state income tax, federal tax, and FICA/Medicare contributions. It helps individuals understand their total tax liability, refunds, and net take-home pay. West Virginia applies a progressive income tax system, and this calculator integrates both state and federal calculations for accuracy.

Filers can also model dependents, deductions, and withholdings to evaluate how family size or income changes impact their taxes. Use the calculator to preview your estimated liability before filing your official state return.
