How This Calculator Works

Wyoming has no state income tax — and the state constitution dedicates mineral revenue to a permanent trust fund that makes repealing the zero-tax status structurally difficult. No tax on wages, retirement income, investments, or capital gains.

A Cheyenne or Casper paycheck carries federal withholding only: the 2026 federal brackets (10% to 37%) after the $16,100 standard deduction (single), 6.2% Social Security up to $184,500, and 1.45% Medicare. Run a $75,000 single salary through that and about $61,592 lands in your account — no state line item anywhere on the stub.

Wyoming's revenue comes from severance taxes on coal, oil, and natural gas — the state is the top coal producer in the nation, and mineral royalties fill the budget gap that an income tax would otherwise cover. Property tax is notably low at 0.65% average, and combined sales tax runs 5.44% — bottom-10 nationally.

There's no estate or inheritance tax. Retirees with investment income pay nothing at the state level, which is why Wyoming frequently appears on lists of top retirement tax states alongside its zero-tax neighbors.

Filing in Wyoming: there is no state income tax return — no April filing, no state withholding, nothing owed to Cheyenne on wages or investments. Your tax season is federal-only.

How It's Calculated

Formula

Net Pay = Gross Income − (Federal Tax + FICA) — Wyoming has no state income tax

Step-by-Step

  1. 1Skip state income tax entirely — Wyoming has none, secured by mineral trust revenue
  2. 2Subtract pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA) from gross pay to get adjusted gross income
  3. 3Apply the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married) for federal taxable income
  4. 4Calculate federal tax using the 2026 progressive brackets (10%–37%) per IRS Publication 15-T
  5. 5Calculate FICA: 6.2% Social Security (up to $184,500) + 1.45% Medicare (no cap)
  6. 6Subtract all taxes and pre-tax deductions from gross pay to get net take-home pay

Example

A single filer earning $75,000 pays zero state tax. After federal tax (about $7,670) and FICA (about $5,738), take-home is roughly $61,592 — no state line on the pay stub.
