West Virginia Payroll

Withholding Method

: Formula

• Withholding Tax Tables

Supplemental Wage / Bonus Rates

: Formula

• (standard pay per period) times (number of pay periods) equals (standard pay). Supplemental payments would then be the excess of that using the annual table as published by the Tax Division
• Example: A $5,000 bonus on an employee: ($2,000 bi-weekly) times (26) equals ($52,000)
• As a result, the bonus would be withheld at 5.12% on the two-earner table, or 4.72% on the one-earner table (the rate that corresponds to the annualized wages for the employee based on the calculation above)
