Wyoming salary calculator: what your result means

Your result is take-home pay for a single paycheck. In Wyoming every dollar of difference between gross and net goes to federal withholding, FICA or the deductions you entered, because the state takes nothing from wages.

For the $60,000 example, federal income tax is about 8.4% of gross pay and Social Security plus Medicare add 7.7%. Higher earners see a larger federal share, since federal withholding rises in brackets, but the state share stays at zero. At $100,000 a year you would take home roughly $3,045.38 every two weeks, or $79,180 a year.

Paid weekly on $40,000 a year? That comes to about $660.01 per check. If you work in mining, oil and gas or another industry that must pay twice a month, choose Semi-monthly to match your pay stub.

Wyoming does not have an individual or corporate income tax, so no state income tax is withheld, and no Wyoming city or county taxes wages. Wyoming also has no state disability, paid family leave or long-term care program that takes a share of employee pay.

The one state rule that does show up on your pay stub is how it's laid out. Under W.S. 27-4-101, every employer must give you an itemized statement of all deductions with each payment, either on the check stub or on a separate slip.

Why is my Wyoming state tax zero?

Because there is no Wyoming income tax to withhold. The calculator still shows a state income tax line so you can see it is zero. If you live in Wyoming and commute to a state that taxes wages, such as Idaho, Montana or Utah, that state may tax your pay; this calculator assumes you live and work in Wyoming.

Things to know about Wyoming paychecks

Two minimum wages. The state minimum is $5.15, far below the federal $7.25. Most employers are covered by federal law, so in practice most Wyoming workers must be paid at least $7.25 an hour. (Source: US Department of Labor, State Minimum Wage Laws (updated July 1, 2026))
Some industries must pay twice a month. Mines, refineries, oil and gas operations, railroads, factories, mills and workshops have to pay on set dates twice a month. If the payday falls on a non-working day, you're paid on the working day before. (Source: Wyoming Statutes Title 27, W.S. 27-4-101 and 27-4-104)
Your employer can deduct what you owe from a final check. When you leave, state law lets an employer offset money you owe it, run up during your employment, against your final wages. (Source: Wyoming Statutes Title 27, W.S. 27-4-101 and 27-4-104)

Federal taxes on every paycheck

Every US paycheck has the same three federal deductions, whichever state you work in. Together, Social Security and Medicare are called FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes.

Federal income tax withholding. Withholding is tax your employer takes out of each paycheck and sends to the IRS on your behalf. The amount depends on your pay and your Form W-4, using the IRS method in Publication 15-T. It is an estimate of your yearly tax; you settle the difference when you file your return.
Social Security. 6.2% of your wages, up to the wage base of $184,500 for the year. The wage base is the most pay that Social Security tax applies to.
Medicare. 1.45% of all your wages, with no limit. Once your pay from one employer passes $200,000 in a year, your employer also withholds an extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on the amount above it.

Ways to change your paycheck

In Wyoming, your Form W-4 is the only withholding form that matters, because there is no state withholding certificate. If your federal refund is large every year, adjusting your W-4 puts more into each paycheck instead.

Pre-tax benefits lower federal tax only. A traditional 401(k) contribution comes out before federal income tax, and Section 125 health premiums and HSA contributions also come out before Social Security and Medicare. Check your itemized pay statement to see which of your deductions are pre-tax.

Update your Form W-4. Claiming dependents, checking the Step 2 box or asking for extra withholding changes how much federal tax comes out of each paycheck. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator can help you fill it in.
Pre-tax deductions. Money you put into a traditional 401(k), an HSA or employer health insurance comes out before federal income tax, so your take-home pay drops by less than the amount you save.
Bonuses. Employers often withhold federal tax on a bonus paid separately at a flat rate. Add a bonus under More options to see it.

Wyoming payroll rules

Minimum wage: Wyoming's own minimum wage is $5.15 an hour, but employers covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act must pay the federal minimum of $7.25, and that covers most jobs. The state rate matters only for the small number of jobs outside federal law. (Source: US Department of Labor, State Minimum Wage Laws (updated July 1, 2026))
Overtime: Wyoming follows the federal overtime rule: time-and-a-half after 40 hours in a workweek for employees the federal law covers. (Source: US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, Overtime Pay)
How often you must be paid: Railroads, mines, refineries, oil and gas operations, and factories, mills and workshops must pay twice a month: by the first of the month for wages earned through the 15th, and by the 15th for the rest of the previous month. Agricultural operations are exempt. State law sets no schedule for other employers. (Source: Wyoming Statutes Title 27, W.S. 27-4-101 and 27-4-104)
Final paycheck: Whether you quit or are fired, your employer must pay the wages you're owed no later than its next regularly scheduled payday. If you have to sue for unpaid final wages and win, the court adds interest at 18% a year plus attorney fees. (Source: Wyoming Statutes Title 27, W.S. 27-4-101 and 27-4-104)

For employers in Wyoming

State unemployment tax: Employers pay unemployment insurance tax on the first $33,800 of each employee's wages in 2026. New employers get a rate based on their industry's average. (Source: US Department of Labor, Significant Provisions of State Unemployment Insurance Laws, January 2026)
New hire reporting: Employers must report newly hired and rehired employees through the Wyoming New Hire Reporting Center, run for the Wyoming Child Support Program. (Source: Wyoming Child Support Program, Employers)
State income tax withholding: Wyoming has no individual income tax, so there is no state withholding account to set up. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare are still withheld from every paycheck. (Source: State of Wyoming, About Wyoming)

Employers that must pay semi-monthly also have to post a copy of the pay law in at least two places where employees can see it, and keep regular paydays.
