Wyoming Paycheck Calculator

No. Wyoming levies no individual income tax on wages or any other income. It is one of only nine US states with no tax on wage income, and it has held that status for over a century without seriously attempting to reverse it, even during periods of state budget pressure tied to energy-price swings.

Wyoming's constitution, Article 15, Section 18, doesn't outright ban an income tax the way Nevada's does, but it requires any income tax the legislature might pass to give taxpayers full credit for all sales, use, and property tax already paid that year — a structural provision that has made an income tax impractical to actually implement for over a century, effectively achieving the same stability as a state with a direct constitutional prohibition.

Wyoming relies heavily on severance taxes levied on mineral extraction, particularly coal, oil, and natural gas production, which has historically provided substantial state revenue given Wyoming's significant energy industry, alongside a state sales tax and property taxes that round out the remainder of the state's overall revenue base.

For the state-tax line specifically, yes — Wyoming withholds nothing where a taxed state would take a meaningful bite out of the same salary. Federal tax and FICA are unchanged, since those are set at the federal level regardless of state, so the entire gap equals whatever a comparable state's income tax would have withheld.

No. No Wyoming city or county levies a local wage or income tax, so this calculator's $0 state-tax result holds regardless of which Wyoming city or county someone lives in — there is no local-tax gap to disclose here the way there is in a state like Maryland or Indiana, where county-level income taxes are common.

No. Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare are calculated identically for every US resident regardless of state — the same 2026 brackets, the same $184,500 Social Security wage base, and the same 1.45% Medicare rate apply in Wyoming as anywhere else.

Eight others: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. Wyoming's reliance on mineral severance taxes and a full-credit constitutional provision rather than an outright ban is a structurally different route to the same no-income-tax outcome as Nevada's or Texas's more direct constitutional prohibitions, even though the practical result for a paycheck looks identical.

For a single filer earning $100,000 in Wyoming, federal income tax is $13,170 after the $16,100 standard deduction, Social Security is $6,200, and Medicare is $1,450, for $20,820 total tax — all federal and FICA, since Wyoming's own state-tax line stays at $0. That leaves $79,180 in net annual pay, an effective tax rate of 20.82%. A married couple filing jointly at the same combined income owes less overall, because of the larger $32,200 standard deduction and wider tax brackets.

Start with gross pay for the period, then subtract federal income tax computed from the 2026 brackets after the standard deduction, subtract 6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base, and subtract 1.45% Medicare (plus 0.9% above $200,000 for a single filer or $250,000 married). Skip a state-tax subtraction entirely, since Wyoming has none. What remains is net pay for that period — multiply or divide by the pay-frequency count to convert between annual and per-paycheck figures.

This calculator doesn't rank salaries against Wyoming's cost of living or local median income, since those vary by city and change from year to year — the U.S. Census Bureau publishes updated Wyoming household income figures annually. What it does show precisely is how far a specific salary stretches after tax: because there's no state income tax to subtract, a given gross salary keeps more of its value in Wyoming than an identical salary would in a state with meaningful income-tax brackets.
