Wyoming Paycheck Calculator
Estimate your Wyoming take-home pay — federal tax, Wyoming's lack of state income tax, Social Security, and Medicare all included.
Wyoming payroll tax overview
Wyoming is one of nine states with no state income tax on wages. Your paycheck deductions are limited to federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) — there's no state withholding line at all.
Wyoming funds its state budget primarily through mineral extraction taxes (coal, oil, and natural gas) rather than income tax, allowing the state to maintain no personal or corporate income tax while keeping other taxes relatively low as well.
Worked example
A single filer earning $75,000/year in Wyoming, paid biweekly:
| Item | Per paycheck | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Gross pay | $2,884.62 | $75,000.00 |
| Federal income tax | ≈ $313.00 | ≈ $8,140.00 |
| Social Security | $178.85 | $4,650.00 |
| Medicare | $41.83 | $1,087.50 |
| Wyoming state tax | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Net pay | ≈ $2,350.94 | ≈ $61,122.50 |
Local income context: how Wyoming compares
According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, Wyoming's median household income is $75,532 — below the 2024 national median of $81,604. Wyoming, the least populous state, combines no income tax with a below-average median income — mineral extraction (coal, oil, and natural gas) funds the state budget and supports a small but well-paid workforce, though the state's tiny population and heavily rural economy keep the statewide median modest.
Median household income reflects a full household (often two earners), while the calculator above estimates take-home pay for a single individual's salary — so it's a useful benchmark for context rather than a direct comparison, but it helps illustrate how a given salary stacks up against typical earnings in Wyoming.
Frequently asked questions
How Wyoming compares to other states
With no state income tax and relatively low sales tax as well, Wyoming residents keep a larger share of gross pay than residents of nearly any other state. Wyoming's mineral-extraction-funded budget model is similar to Alaska's, allowing broad-based taxes to remain minimal.
Wyoming cost-of-living context
Wyoming's cost of living is generally at or below the national average across most of the state, with some higher-cost pockets near Jackson Hole and other tourist destinations. Outside these areas, the combination of no income tax and low cost of living makes take-home pay stretch considerably further.
More frequently asked questions
Wyoming minimum wage context
Wyoming follows the federal minimum wage with no state-level minimum wage law of its own, and no Wyoming city sets a higher local minimum. The federal rate applies uniformly if you're entering an hourly figure into this calculator.
