How the West Virginia estimate works
Enter gross pay for one pay period, federal W-4 adjustments, and the state details shown above. Federal withholding follows Publication 15-T. West Virginia uses the official 2026 pay-frequency schedule selected by the employee's one-earner election, subtracts the per-period exemption allowance, applies the matching bracket, and adds any requested amount. Municipal service fees are not calculated.
Example: A West Virginia result includes the state withholding line but is always marked partial. Payroll-deducted municipal service fees are named as omitted rather than treated as zero. The calculator does not assume any unentered benefit deduction or invent a tax result.
Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly are the supported paycheck frequencies. “Annual salary” is an earnings input and the annual view is a simple period multiplication; neither is an annual payroll-period method. The special Form W-4 adjustment for nonresident aliens is not modeled.
