Wyoming has no state income tax
Wyoming is one of nine states that do not tax wages. Your employer withholds only federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, so a Wyoming paycheck is usually several percent larger than the same salary in a state with an income tax.
- Wyoming has no personal income tax, so only federal taxes come out of a Wyoming paycheck.
- Wyoming employees pay no state payroll deductions; unemployment and workers' compensation premiums are paid by employers.
The other states without a tax on wages are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington. If you live in Wyoming but work in a state that taxes income, that state usually taxes your wages there.
No Wyoming payroll deductions
Wyoming does not take disability, paid leave or unemployment contributions from employees. State unemployment insurance is paid by employers, so the only deductions from a Wyoming paycheck are federal taxes and anything you choose, such as 401(k) contributions or health insurance.
Local income taxes in Wyoming
Wyoming cities and counties do not tax wages.
Example: $60,000 salary in Wyoming
A single filer earning $60,000 a year, paid every two weeks, with a standard 2026 W-4 and no 401(k) or health deductions:
| Every two weeks | Per paycheck | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Gross pay | $2,307.69 | $60,000.00 |
| Federal income tax | -$193.08 | -$5,020.00 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | -$143.08 | -$3,720.00 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | -$33.46 | -$870.00 |
| Take-home pay | $1,938.08 | $50,390.00 |
With no Wyoming income tax and no state payroll contributions, nothing at all goes to the state. All taxes together take 16% of pay. Federal withholding is the 2026 single schedule: $60,000 less the $8,600 allowance gives $51,400, taxed at $1,240 plus 12% above $19,900, or $5,020 a year.
Take-home pay in Wyoming at different salaries
Yearly take-home pay for a single filer in Wyoming, paid every two weeks, with no pre-tax deductions or local tax. For a married couple filing jointly on $120,000, take-home pay is about $100,780 a year (16% in taxes).

How the Wyoming paycheck estimate works
Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T for 2026: your paycheck is annualized, an allowance for the standard deduction is taken off, the 2026 withholding schedule for your filing status is applied, and W-4 credits and extra withholding are added back per paycheck. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 and Medicare 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000.
No Wyoming income tax is calculated.
Take-home = Gross − pre-tax deductions − federal tax − Social Security − Medicare
