Planning a purchase in West Virginia
The prefilled price, tax percentage, and interest rate are illustrative inputs, not verified West Virginia averages or lender quotes. Replace them with the property's price, a local tax estimate, an insurance quote, and your lender's rate.
Calculate annual tax from assessed value and local levies
West Virginia generally assesses property at 60% of current fair market value, subject to special valuation rules for certain property. Published levy rates apply to assessed value, so the assessment fraction is not the annual tax percentage of a home’s sale price.
For your estimate: Get a county tax estimate for the property’s classification and location. Convert those annual dollars to the calculator’s effective tax percentage instead of entering 60 or a published levy without conversion.
West Virginia Tax Division: property tax law summaryRepeat buyers can check the Movin’ Up program
The West Virginia Housing Development Fund’s Movin’ Up program serves eligible moderate-income homebuyers and does not require first-time buyer status. Income and purchase price requirements still apply, so prior ownership alone neither rules the program out nor establishes eligibility.
For your estimate: Ask a participating lender to compare Movin’ Up with other loan offers using your household and property details. Enter the quoted loan terms rather than assuming assistance or a preferred rate.

Using local estimates in this tool
The tax field multiplies the home's price by a percentage. If your assessor estimates an annual tax bill, divide that bill by the entered home price and multiply by 100. Do not enter an assessment ratio or millage directly. For example, an illustrative $4,800 annual bill on a $400,000 price corresponds to 1.2%; these are not local averages.
This payment includes principal, interest, property tax and home insurance. Budget mortgage insurance, HOA dues, maintenance and closing costs separately.
Official resources and next steps
HUD housing and homeownership resources for West Virginia provides further counseling and housing contacts.
For FHA financing, use HUD's county and unit-count lookup. Select West Virginia, the property's county, the calendar year, and the number of units. The 2026 national one-unit floor of $541,287 is a baseline, not a determination of the limit for every county in West Virginia.

How to Use This Mortgage Calculator in West Virginia
Enter the price of the property you are considering in West Virginia, then adjust the down payment and rate. The payment combines principal, interest, property tax, and insurance. It does not include HOA dues, maintenance, or mortgage insurance.
For example, at the illustrative price of $147,000 and 6% down, the base loan is $138,180. These are calculation examples, not a statement about prices or typical buyers in West Virginia.
Compare the same home under different rates and down payments. A lower monthly payment from a longer term can still mean more lifetime interest. Confirm taxes and insurance for the property before relying on the estimate.
