Wyoming Paycheck Calculator
Using 2026 federal and Wyoming tax figures · last checked
Short answer
A $60,000 salary in Wyoming takes home about $50,390 a year — roughly $4,199 a month — after $5,020 federal income tax and $4,590 in Social Security and Medicare. Wyoming levies no state income tax on wages. That is an effective rate of 16.0%. Figures assume a single filer taking the standard deduction, with no pre-tax deductions.
Enter a gross figure and see the Wyoming version of the same arithmetic every payroll department runs — federal tax by filing status, Social Security, Medicare, and no state layer. Every line is shown, so you can check the one you care about rather than trusting a single total.

No Wyoming state income tax
No state income tax applies to wages in Wyoming. The deductions on a Wyoming stub are federal only — income tax by filing status, Social Security at 6.2%, Medicare at 1.45%.
What comes out of every paycheck
FICA is the part of the stub that behaves identically in all fifty states. It splits into Social Security at 6.2%, which stops once annual wages pass $184,500, and Medicare at 1.45%, which never stops and gains an extra 0.9% above $200,000. Nothing about living in Wyoming changes either figure.
Wyoming has no state income tax of any kind — no individual, corporate, or estate tax. The state is funded by mineral extraction taxes and federal land payments. Workers keep all of their earnings after federal tax and FICA.
Wyoming: No Income Tax, No Corporate Tax
Wyoming has no income tax, no corporate tax, and no estate tax. It is the most tax-free state in the country for individuals. Your paycheck only has federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) deducted — nothing else. Wyoming funds its government through severance taxes on mineral extraction (oil, gas, coal, trona), federal mineral royalties, and a 4% state sales tax. The state has built up a massive rainy-day fund from energy revenues. For a Cheyenne worker earning $55,000, the zero state income tax means roughly $2,000–$3,500 more per year in take-home compared to neighboring Colorado (4.4%) or Montana (5.9%).
Working in Wyoming's Small but Wealthy Economy
Wyoming has the smallest population of any US state (about 580,000), which creates unique dynamics. Energy dominates — oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium extraction provide high-paying jobs but are cyclical. Tourism around Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks is the other major employer. Jackson Hole is one of the wealthiest communities in America, attracting finance executives and tech entrepreneurs drawn by the zero tax and mountain lifestyle. Cheyenne, as the capital and a military hub (F.E. Warren AFB), offers the most urban amenities. Remote workers have been moving to Wyoming in increasing numbers, particularly to areas near Bozeman, MT, that offer Montana's recreational appeal with Wyoming's zero tax.
Take-home pay at common salaries in Wyoming
Each row below is the same calculation at a different gross. What changes is the effective rate, which runs 14.2% to 22.3% in Wyoming — a consequence of graduated brackets rather than any change in the rules.
Hourly rates in Wyoming
Hourly rates and salaries meet at 2,080 hours. On that basis $18 an hour in Wyoming produces about $32,263 in annual take-home, before overtime.
| Hourly | Annual gross | Annual take-home | Net per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| $14/hr | $29,120 | $25,578 | $12.30 |
| $16/hr | $33,280 | $28,920 | $13.90 |
| $18/hr | $37,440 | $32,263 | $15.51 |
| $28/hr | $58,240 | $48,976 | $23.55 |
| $35/hr | $72,800 | $60,045 | $28.87 |
| $45/hr | $93,600 | $74,678 | $35.90 |
Based on 2,080 hours a year — 40 hours a week, 52 weeks. Excludes overtime and unpaid leave.
How filing status changes it
The four filing statuses are not variations on one calculation — each has a distinct standard deduction and distinct bracket boundaries. On $60,000 that produces a $2,180 range in what you keep, topped by Married filing jointly.
| Filing status | Federal tax | Take-home |
|---|---|---|
| Single | $5,020 | $50,390 |
| Married filing jointly | $2,840 | $52,570 |
| Married filing separately | $5,020 | $50,390 |
| Head of household | $3,948 | $51,462 |

How accurate is this estimate?
Treat the result as a close estimate rather than a prediction of your next stub. Your employer withholds from the W-4 on file, which may carry extra withholding, dependant credits or a second-job adjustment this calculator does not know about. Pre-tax benefits — health premiums, retirement contributions, an HSA — also come out before tax is computed and will shift the figure.
Wyoming paycheck questions
Does Wyoming have any income tax?
No. Wyoming has no individual income tax, no corporate income tax, and no estate or inheritance tax. It is one of the most tax-friendly states in the nation.
Why can Wyoming afford no income tax?
Wyoming generates substantial revenue from severance taxes on mineral extraction (oil, gas, coal) and federal mineral royalty payments. The state has built a large permanent mineral trust fund that supplements ongoing revenue.
How pay frequency changes your cheque
People often ask whether switching to fortnightly pay costs them more tax. It does not. Across a full year in Wyoming the total is the same; the difference is cash-flow, not liability. These are the per-cheque figures on $60,000, filing single.
| Paid | Cheques/yr | Gross each | Take-home each |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | 52 | $1,154 | $969 |
| Every two weeks | 26 | $2,308 | $1,938 |
| Twice a month | 24 | $2,500 | $2,100 |
| Monthly | 12 | $5,000 | $4,199 |
Turn this into a pay stub
Once the numbers look right, the generator will lay them out as a pay stub you can save. Worth repeating what such a document is and is not — it records what you entered, and it does not stand in for an employer-issued record where one is genuinely required.
