Free West Virginia Tax Calculator

West Virginia runs a five-bracket progressive tax from 2.11% up to 4.58% for 2026 (SB 392, enacted retroactive to January 1). The brackets: 2.11% on your first $10,000 of taxable income, 2.81% to $25,000, 3.16% to $40,000, 4.22% to $60,000, and 4.58% on everything above. West Virginia has no state standard deduction — each $2,000 personal exemption reduces taxable income instead.

Run $62,000 single through it: taxable income after the $2,000 exemption is $60,000 (no standard deduction — West Virginia does NOT use the federal one). The brackets produce about $1,951 in state tax — a 3.1% effective rate.

West Virginia has been on an aggressive tax-cut path: the top rate has fallen in steps (from 6.5% down to 4.58% for 2026), triggered by revenue surpluses, and the state legislature has discussed eliminating the income tax entirely.

Property tax is low at 0.69%, and combined sales tax runs 6.57%. With an income tax that keeps shrinking, low property tax, and moderate sales tax, West Virginia's total burden has dropped below the national average in recent years.
