How This Calculator Works
On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each West Virginia paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $103 to West Virginia income tax, leaving about $2,266 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.
That state withholding is 25th of 51, near the middle, $3 more than the typical state per paycheck ($84 over a year).
Among neighboring states, Ohio leaves the most: about $2,319 per paycheck on the same salary, $54 more than West Virginia. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.
A real West Virginia pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
