How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
This calculator estimates take-home pay using 2026 federal and Wyoming state tax rates. It models federal income tax, FICA, and state income tax.

Your actual paycheck may differ.
Why is there no state income tax on my Wyoming paycheck?
Wyoming is one of nine states that does not levy a state income tax. This means your paycheck is only reduced by federal income tax and FICA. Wyoming funds state services through other revenue sources such as sales tax and property tax.
Do I need to file a state tax return in Wyoming?
No. Since Wyoming has no individual income tax, there is no state income tax return to file. You only need to file your federal return. However, if you earned income in another state that does have income tax, you may need to file in that state.

Does the OBBBA overtime/tips deduction matter in Wyoming?

How does Wyoming fund state services without an income tax?
Wyoming relies heavily on mineral severance taxes and federal mineral royalties (particularly from coal, oil, natural gas, and trona mining) to fund state services. These extractive industry revenues substantially reduce the tax burden on individual Wyoming residents. Wyoming also collects sales and use tax. The combination of mineral severance revenue and royalty receipts means Wyoming maintains one of the smallest per-capita individual tax burdens in the nation despite forgoing both a personal income tax and a corporate income tax.
