Wyoming Paycheck Calculator
Figure basis: Official Wyoming Department of RevenueThis Wyoming paycheck calculator estimates your take-home pay after the taxes withheld from a typical wage. Enter your gross pay, choose how often you are paid (weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly) and select your filing status to see a full breakdown of every deduction and your net pay. The estimate combines four withholdings: federal income tax, calculated with the 2026 Internal Revenue Service annualised percentage method; Social Security at 6.2% up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.00; Medicare at 1.45% on all wages; and no state income tax, because Wyoming does not levy one. Results update as you type and the page link captures your inputs so you can save or share a calculation. This estimate covers federal withholding, FICA and state income tax only; State Disability Insurance where a state levies it, and any city or county local income tax, are not included and are noted separately. Use it to check a payslip, compare an offer, or plan a pre-tax contribution.
A $5,000 biweekly paycheck (single filer) in Wyoming is about $3,850.81 take-home, after federal income tax $766.69, Social Security $310.00, Medicare $72.50 (no state income tax).
How the Wyoming paycheck calculation works
annual gross = gross per period x pay periods per year
federal withholding = IRS Pub 15-T annualised percentage method, de-annualised
Social Security = min(annual gross, $184,500.00) x 6.2% / periods
Medicare = annual gross x 1.45% / periods
state withholding = 0 (no Wyoming income tax)
take-home = gross per period - federal - Social Security - Medicare - state
Worked example
A single filer paid $5,000.00 every two weeks (26 pay periods a year) in Wyoming, for 2026:
- Annual gross = $5,000.00 x 26 = $130,000.00
- Federal income tax withheld this period = $766.69
- Social Security = $310.00; Medicare = $72.50
- Wyoming income tax = $0.00 (no state income tax)
- Take-home = $5,000.00 - $766.69 - $310.00 - $72.50 - $0.00 = $3,850.81
What Wyoming's missing income tax means for your take-home pay
Because Wyoming levies no personal income tax, the state line on a Wyoming paycheck is always zero. Your withholding stops at three federal items: federal income tax, Social Security at 6.2% up to the annual wage base, and Medicare at 1.45%. There is no state form, no state bracket, and nothing extra taken out for Cheyenne or Casper. Someone moving from a state with a top rate near 5% to 13% keeps that entire slice, which is why a Wyoming take-home figure often looks larger than the same salary calculated a state away.
No income tax does not mean no tax, and it helps to see the full picture before you assume Wyoming is free. The state funds itself mainly through mineral severance taxes on oil, gas and coal, plus property taxes and a statewide sales tax. That sales tax starts at 4%, and counties may add up to 2% for general purposes and up to 1% for specific projects, so a combined rate can reach 6% on everyday purchases. Those costs never touch your paycheck, but they do shape your monthly budget.
For retirees the arithmetic is even simpler: Social Security, pensions and 401(k) withdrawals all escape state tax entirely, which is why Wyoming ranks among the most tax-friendly states in the country. Whatever your situation, remember the calculator shows only withholding. Federal income tax still applies in full, and your actual refund or balance is settled when you file.
