Paycheck Calculator — Wyoming
Wyoming levies no individual income tax, having historically funded state government through mineral severance taxes on coal, oil, and gas instead. A Wyoming paycheck in this model carries only federal deductions, so a $60,000 single filer keeps an estimated $50,390 a year — an 84.0% take-home rate.

Annual deductions from gross
Estimate for the 2026 tax year using the federal standard deduction and published IRS/SSA rates. It does not model itemized deductions, tax credits, dependents, or local city taxes. Wyoming levies no state individual income tax, so take-home pay reflects only federal income tax and FICA. Not tax advice.
Mineral wealth instead of a wage tax
Wyoming has never needed an individual income tax in large part because severance taxes on its mineral extraction — coal, oil, and natural gas — have historically carried much of the state budget. For workers, the consequence is a paycheck with no state withholding line: the model reduces a $60,000 single salary only by 2026 federal income tax, Social Security at 6.2%, and Medicare at 1.45%, projecting $50,390 of net annual pay.
The federal side of the estimate keeps the usual simplifications: standard deduction assumed, credits and dependents not modeled, and pre-tax benefits excluded. Use the figure as a 2026 estimate of take-home pay, not tax advice or a guarantee of your exact pay stub.
Questions
- Does Wyoming take anything out of my paycheck?
- No state income tax, no. Wyoming levies no individual income tax, so only federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare reduce a Wyoming paycheck in this model — an estimated $50,390 of net annual pay on a $60,000 single salary.
- How does Wyoming fund its government without an income tax?
- Historically through mineral severance taxes — levies on coal, oil, and natural gas extraction — alongside sales and property taxes. That revenue base has allowed Wyoming to remain one of the few states with no individual income tax at all.
