Wyoming Paycheck Calculator
Your estimated take-home pay in Wyoming, using 2026 federal rules. Wyoming takes no state income tax out of your paycheck — so only federal tax, Social Security, and Medicare come out.
Advanced — W-4 adjustments (optional)
| Gross pay | $0.00 |
| Pre-tax deductions | −$0.00 |
| Federal income tax | −$0.00 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$0.00 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$0.00 |
| Wyoming state income tax | $0.00 |
| Take-home pay | $0.00 |
Quick answers
$60,000 a year in Wyoming: take-home pay of $1,890.30 per paycheck (every two weeks), or $49,147.80 a year.
$25 an hour in Wyoming (40 hours a week): take-home pay of $825.58 per weekly paycheck, or $42,930.16 a year.
$100,000 a year in Wyoming: take-home pay of $2,972.61 per paycheck (every two weeks), or $77,287.86 a year.
All three assume a single filer with no pre-tax deductions. The only taxes in them are federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare — in Wyoming, that is the whole list.
How this calculator works
A Wyoming paycheck is the federal calculation with nothing added at the state level. The steps:
- Start with gross pay for the period — your salary divided by the number of paychecks in the year, or your hourly rate times the hours in the paycheck.
- Subtract pre-tax deductions such as a traditional 401(k). What remains is your pay subject to federal income tax. Social Security and Medicare are still figured on your full gross pay.
- Annualize and apply the IRS schedule. Your taxable pay is multiplied up to a full year and run through the Publication 15-T (2026) Percentage Method schedule for your filing status, with any W-4 adjustments you entered.
- Divide back into paychecks, after subtracting W-4 Step 3 credits and adding any Step 4(c) extra withholding.
- Add FICA. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 for 2026; Medicare is 1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% withholding on wages from one employer above $200,000.
- Add Wyoming state income tax: $0. Wyoming has no state income tax on wages, and no Wyoming city levies one either, so this step is always zero.
- The remainder is your take-home pay.
Worked examples
These examples were produced with this calculator's own engine. Unless stated otherwise, they assume no pre-tax deductions and no W-4 adjustments.
Example 1: $70,000 salary, head of household, paid twice a month
| Gross pay per paycheck | $2,916.67 |
| Federal income tax | −$257.50 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$180.83 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$42.29 |
| Wyoming state income tax | $0.00 |
| Take-home pay | $2,436.05 |
Take-home pay for the year is $58,465.20 out of $70,000 gross. Head-of-household status helps: its wider lower bands hold federal withholding to $257.50 a paycheck, while FICA — a flat $223.12 here — is nearly as large. At Wyoming incomes around this level, Social Security and Medicare together are close to half of everything withheld.
Example 2: $38 an hour, single, paid every two weeks
| Gross pay per paycheck (80 hours) | $3,040.00 |
| Federal income tax | −$401.95 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$188.48 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$44.08 |
| Wyoming state income tax | $0.00 |
| Take-home pay | $2,405.49 |
An energy-sector wage — oil, gas, and mining work pays rates like this across Wyoming — at 80 hours per two-week paycheck: $79,040 a year before tax, $62,542.74 after federal tax and FICA. If some weeks run past 40 hours, the overtime premium is taxed the same way as regular pay in the check itself; any special overtime deduction shows up only when you file.
Example 3: $58,000 salary, married filing jointly, paid weekly
| Gross pay per paycheck | $1,115.38 |
| Federal income tax | −$79.77 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$69.15 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$16.17 |
| Wyoming state income tax | $0.00 |
| Take-home pay | $950.28 |
Weekly pay, joint filing: total withholding is just $165.09 a week, about 14.8% of gross pay, and $49,414.56 of the $58,000 reaches the household over the year. Filing jointly does a lot of the work here — the joint schedule's 0% and 10% bands are about twice the single ones, so a one-income household at this level stays mostly in the 10% and 12% bands.
Wyoming take-home pay by salary
Single filer, paid every two weeks, no pre-tax deductions. Find your salary to see what actually lands in your account — and notice that the state column never appears, because there is nothing to put in it.
| Annual salary | Gross per paycheck | Federal tax | FICA | Take-home per paycheck | Take-home per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $1,538.46 | −$140.46 | −$117.69 | $1,280.31 | $33,288.06 |
| $50,000 | $1,923.08 | −$186.62 | −$147.11 | $1,589.34 | $41,322.84 |
| $60,000 | $2,307.69 | −$240.85 | −$176.54 | $1,890.30 | $49,147.80 |
| $75,000 | $2,884.62 | −$367.77 | −$220.68 | $2,296.18 | $59,700.68 |
| $100,000 | $3,846.15 | −$579.31 | −$294.23 | $2,972.61 | $77,287.86 |
| $125,000 | $4,807.69 | −$799.92 | −$367.79 | $3,639.98 | $94,639.48 |
| $150,000 | $5,769.23 | −$1,030.69 | −$441.34 | $4,297.19 | $111,726.94 |
Two patterns are worth seeing. First, FICA is a flat 7.65% at every row of this table — it does not rise with income until the Social Security cap, so it is a bigger share of the total tax at $40,000 (about 46% of all tax withheld) than at $150,000 (about 30%). Second, the federal column grows faster than salary: going from $50,000 to $100,000 doubles gross pay but more than triples federal withholding, because more of the pay lands in the 22% band.
Wyoming take-home pay by the hour
Single filer, paid weekly, 40 hours a week, no pre-tax deductions.
| Hourly rate | Gross per week | Federal tax | FICA | Take-home per week | Take-home per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $600.00 | −$49.92 | −$45.90 | $504.18 | $26,217.36 |
| $20.00 | $800.00 | −$73.92 | −$61.20 | $664.88 | $34,573.76 |
| $25.00 | $1,000.00 | −$97.92 | −$76.50 | $825.58 | $42,930.16 |
| $30.00 | $1,200.00 | −$130.58 | −$91.80 | $977.62 | $50,836.24 |
| $40.00 | $1,600.00 | −$218.58 | −$122.40 | $1,259.02 | $65,469.04 |
| $50.00 | $2,000.00 | −$306.58 | −$153.00 | $1,540.42 | $80,101.84 |
Hourly workers feel annualization more than salaried workers do: a week with overtime is withheld as if that were your pace all year. If your hours swing a lot — common in energy and seasonal work — expect bigger refunds or smaller ones at tax time rather than exact withholding; the annual return evens it out. To work out the overtime itself, use the Overtime Calculator.
Wyoming pay rules worth knowing
Payday law. Wyoming requires employers to establish regular paydays and pay on them, but the state sets no universal pay frequency for most private employers — weekly and every-two-weeks schedules are the norm. One group does have a statutory schedule (W.S. 27-4-101): employers operating a railroad, mine, refinery, oil or gas production, factory, mill, or workshop must pay at least semimonthly, with wages for the first half of a month paid by the 1st of the following month and wages for the second half by the 15th.
Final paychecks. Whether you quit or are discharged, your final paycheck is due no later than the next regularly scheduled payday (W.S. 27-4-104) — Wyoming's Department of Workforce Services states the same rule in its worker guidance and takes wage claims when it is missed. Note that some older guides still quote a “five working days” deadline; that was the pre-2015 version of the statute.
No Wyoming W-4. States with an income tax usually have their own withholding form or use the federal elections. Wyoming has neither: the only withholding paperwork for a Wyoming job is the federal Form W-4, which is why this calculator only asks federal questions.
Minimum wage and overtime. Wyoming's own minimum wage is $5.15 an hour (W.S. 27-4-202), but the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour applies to employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act — which is most jobs — so $7.25 is the effective floor, as the Department of Workforce Services notes. Wyoming has no general state overtime requirement for most private employees (public works projects are an exception, at time and a half after 40 hours), so overtime otherwise follows the federal FLSA. Wyoming employers pay state unemployment insurance tax themselves; it never comes out of your paycheck.
The trade-off. No income tax does not mean no taxes: Wyoming pays for state government largely with mineral severance taxes on coal, oil, and natural gas, plus property taxes, rather than a tax on wages. Those don't show up in your paycheck, but they are part of the honest comparison — severance revenue swings with energy prices in a way an income tax does not — if you are weighing a Wyoming offer against one in another state.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wyoming have a state income tax?
No. Wyoming does not tax wages at the state level, and no Wyoming city adds a local income tax. On this calculator the Wyoming state line is always $0.
Is there a Wyoming W-4 form?
No. Because there is no state withholding, Wyoming has no state version of the W-4. The only withholding form you fill out for a Wyoming job is the federal Form W-4, which is what this calculator's filing status and adjustment fields mirror.
How much is $100,000 a year after taxes in Wyoming?
For a single filer paid every two weeks with no pre-tax deductions: $2,972.61 take-home per paycheck and $77,287.86 over a full year. The only taxes are federal withholding ($15,062.06 a year) and FICA — Social Security and Medicare ($7,649.98 a year).
What comes out of a Wyoming paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 of wages in 2026), and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% withholding on wages from one employer above $200,000). Beyond taxes, many paychecks also have voluntary or court-ordered deductions such as 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, and garnishments.
How often does my employer have to pay me in Wyoming?
Wyoming sets no universal pay-frequency rule for most private employers: your employer establishes regular paydays, and most pay weekly or every two weeks. One exception with a statutory schedule covers employers operating a railroad, mine, refinery, oil or gas production, factory, mill, or workshop — they must pay semimonthly, with wages for the first half of a month due by the 1st of the following month and wages for the second half due by the 15th.
When is my final paycheck due if I leave a Wyoming job?
Your final paycheck is due no later than the next regularly scheduled payday after you leave, whether you quit or were discharged (W.S. 27-4-104). If it does not arrive, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services takes wage claims.
Is overtime pay taxed less in 2026?
Not in your paycheck. Withholding on overtime works exactly like withholding on regular pay. A newer federal deduction for the premium half of overtime pay (the extra 0.5×) applies when you file your tax return for 2025 through 2028 — it lowers your tax bill at filing time, but it does not change the withholding this calculator estimates.
Why is my Wyoming paycheck a little different from this estimate?
Employers may round differently, and your actual W-4 entries, benefit premiums, 401(k) contributions, or garnishments may differ from what you entered here. Pay frequency matters too: the same salary produces different per-check amounts weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, or monthly.
