What this means
On a salary of $100,000 you keep $75,489 — about 75% of what you earn. The remaining $24,511 is split across four separate deductions.
The largest is federal income tax at $13,170, roughly 54% of your total tax bill. West Virginia's own income tax takes $3,691, which is less than the $7,650 taken for Social Security and Medicare.
Your next dollar of income would be taxed at 26.6% once federal and state are combined, while the rate you actually pay across the whole salary is 24.5%. That gap is why a raise never feels as large as the headline rate suggests — and why the effective rate, not the bracket you land in, is the number worth comparing between states.
