Worked example

Worked example. Hand case through the two-earner table: married, $900 a week, 2 exemptions. The one-earner twin (single, $1,600 biweekly, 1 exemption) computes to $42.07 in the test suite.
Federal income tax $28.08 · Social Security $55.80 · Medicare $13.05 · West Virginia withholding $26.35 · Take-home $776.72 per week

How West Virginia withholding works

State form: WV IT-104.

West Virginia annualizes wages, subtracts $2,000 per exemption claimed, and applies one of two schedules: the one-earner table (single, head of household, or MFJ with a nonemployed spouse who elected it on the IT-104) or the two-earner table — the default, with thresholds at 75% of the one-earner amounts. Rates reflect SB 392's 5% cut, retroactive to January 1, 2026.

Current parameters

What this page covers — and what it doesn't

State method only. A handful of West Virginia cities charge a flat weekly municipal service fee (usually $1–$5), not a percentage — not computed here.
