Paycheck CalculatorWyoming

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.

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.
