What comes out of a Wyoming paycheck
On $1,500 every two weeks, single, a Wyoming worker keeps $1,289.10.
Wyoming's Legislative Service Office lists the individual income tax at 0 percent, with a note pointing to Article 15, Section 18 of the state constitution. Wyoming has no state withholding form, so a paycheck carries no state income tax at all, whatever your filing status or dependents. The table shows $0 collected from the tax in fiscal year 2024.
Workers do not pay a state payroll premium either. Wyoming's line in the calculator is $0.00. The money Wyoming does collect comes from sources such as sales tax, use tax, lodging tax, and property tax, and none of those comes out of your pay on payday. Overtime and bonuses are untaxed by the state here as well.
County and local taxes
The Legislative Service Office table lists the local options Wyoming allows: a sales tax of 4 percent statewide with a local option of 0 to 3 percent, a use tax, a lodging tax, and property tax. It lists no local income or wage tax. Customers pay the sales and lodging taxes, so none of them is withheld from a worker.
A Wyoming result needs no local amount added, whichever city you work in, because the state lists none to withhold.
Final pay and the minimum wage
Wyoming's own statute sets the minimum wage at $5.15 an hour. That is below the federal $7.25, so nearly every Wyoming worker is owed the federal rate under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and $5.15 matters only for the few jobs federal law does not cover. Treat $7.25 as your working floor. The tipped cash wage is the federal $2.13 an hour.
Whether you are fired or you quit, your employer must pay what you are owed by the next regularly scheduled payday, or as a union contract sets. Older summaries mention five working days, but the statute as now printed says the regular payday.

Sources and checks
Checked on Oct 29, 2026. Source: Wyoming Legislative Service Office, "Wyoming Statutory Tax Structure: Title 39" (presented to the Legislature's interim revenue committee June 3, 2025; wyoleg.gov/InterimCommittee/2025/03-202506032-01WyomingtaxstructureratesandcollectionsJune32025.pdf, fetched Oct 29, 2026), "Wyoming Tax Rates and Collections" table: "Individual Income Tax | 0% (Note Art. 15, Sec. 18) | $0" collected in FY24.
Local taxes: The same Legislative Service Office table (June 3, 2025) lists the local-option taxes Wyoming allows as sales tax ("4% statewide; 0-3% local option"), use tax, and lodging tax, plus property tax; it lists no local income or wage tax.
Disability and paid leave: No Wyoming statute or state agency program provides a disability or paid family leave payroll deduction. Wyoming's unemployment contributions are the employer's alone: W.S. 27-3-503(a) (Wyoming Statutes Title 27, wyoleg.gov/statutes/compress/title27.pdf, fetched Oct 29, 2026): contributions "are payable by employers... and shall not be deducted from employee wages."
Minimum wage: W.S. 27-4-202(a) (Wyoming Statutes Title 27, wyoleg.gov/statutes/compress/title27.pdf, fetched Oct 29, 2026): "Every employer shall pay to each of his or her employees wages at a rate of not less than five dollars and fifteen cents ($5.15) per hour." This state floor is below the federal $7.25, so in practice nearly every Wyoming worker is owed the federal $7.25 under the Fair Labor Standards Act; the $5.15 state rate matters only for the few jobs the federal law does not cover. The page should say both.
Final paycheck: W.S. 27-4-104(a) (Wyoming Statutes Title 27, wyoleg.gov/statutes/compress/title27.pdf, fetched Oct 29, 2026): "Whenever an employee quits service or is discharged, the employee shall be paid whatever wages are due him... no later than the employer's usual practice on regularly scheduled payroll dates or at a time specified under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement." The same section lets the employer offset sums the employee owes it. Tipped wage: W.S. 27-4-202(b): employers "shall not pay less than two dollars and thirteen cents ($2.13) per hour to his tipped employees," with tips making up the rest of the minimum.
Federal withholding: IRS Publication 15-T (2026), Worksheet 1A and its "2026 Percentage Method Tables for Automated Payroll Systems and Withholding on Periodic Payments of Pensions and Annuities," pages 10 to 12. Fetched directly from irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15t.pdf and transcribed Oct 28, 2026.
