What's different about Wyoming
- Your pay stub in Wyoming has no state line on it. Federal tax and FICA come out, and then the money is yours. At the salary this page works from, that leaves $2,369 in each paycheck.
- Few states let you keep more of your pay than Wyoming. It ranks 1, at $61,593 of the salary surviving the year.
- Two numbers, same salary, both true. The last dollar meets about 29.65%. Averaged across everything you earn, the rate is about 17.88%. None of that difference comes from Wyoming — the state is not in this calculation at all.
- The till takes a share too. Combined sales tax across Wyoming comes to about 5.39%, which is rank 45 in the country.
- Wyoming levies no individual income tax, so the state layer of the withholding stack is absent rather than small — federal income tax and FICA are the only deductions modeled. At the representative salary the resulting take-home is $2,369 per period, against an all-in effective rate of about 17.88% composed entirely of federal charges.
- Wyoming places 1 among the fifty-one jurisdictions modeled for after-tax income, at $61,593 on the representative salary. That position reflects the wage-tax stack only; property, sales and excise treatment are ranked separately and frequently run the other way.
- At the representative salary the marginal rate is about 29.65% against an effective rate of about 17.88%. With no state wage tax in Wyoming, both figures are federal in their entirety. Comparisons attributing a favorable effective rate here to state policy are half right: the policy is the absence of a layer rather than a lighter one.
- On the spend side, Wyoming applies about 5.39% combined across Wyoming and ranks 45. States are rarely simply cheap or expensive; the more useful distinction is which layer of a transaction the revenue is drawn from, and this page shows one layer of two.

What this page can't tell you
Worth being straight about, because a number without its limits is just a claim.
- This is Wyoming's tax for the year, split evenly across your paychecks. It is not a copy of what your employer withholds. The form you filled in when you were hired changes the timing, and so does your employer's payroll method — sometimes by a lot. Neither changes what the year adds up to. That total is what this page shows.
- One household shape stands behind every number on this page: a single filer in Wyoming, no dependants, nothing set aside pre-tax, taking the standard deduction. Real life usually lowers the bill from here, never raises it.
- Nothing local is added on top of these Wyoming numbers — no city tax, no county tax. That matches most of the country. A resident somewhere that does charge one would end up with a smaller number than shown here.
- The headline number above is Wyoming at one salary, chosen so every state is compared on the same footing. Below it, a range of salaries — and your own number, in the calculator.
- Figures are the annual Wyoming liability computed by this engine, divided across the selected pay frequency. They are not a reproduction of employer withholding, which follows the IRS percentage or wage-bracket method against the withholding certificate a worker files and can diverge substantially from period to period. The annual total is the quantity being modeled; withholding determines only how that total is distributed through the year, and whether it is over- or under-collected by the time the return is filed.
- The household shape assumed for Wyoming is a single filer, no dependants, no pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, and the standard deduction rather than itemising. Any of those, if true for a real filer, reduces taxable income relative to this baseline — so the figures shown are an upper bound, not a typical case.
- These Wyoming figures carry no local income tax component. Most US jurisdictions have none to model, so this is the common case rather than an omission — but it is a declared position, distinguishable from an unmodelled locality that this engine would otherwise silently report as zero.
- Wyoming's headline figures hold gross income fixed at one representative salary, which is what makes cross-state comparison valid. The tabulated range and interactive calculator exist because bracket geometry differs enough across states that a ranking at one salary is not guaranteed to hold at another.
