You keep 82% of your gross pay. Wyoming itself takes 0.0%.

This is your 2026 tax for the whole year, spread evenly across 26 paychecks and rounded to the cent. A real payslip can differ slightly from one paycheck to the next: employers withhold using tables that approximate the year's tax rather than match it, and stop taking a contribution once your wages for the year pass its cap.

What this means

On a salary of $75,000 you keep $61,593 — about 82% of what you earn. The remaining $13,408 is split across three separate deductions.

Wyoming takes none of it. There is no state income tax here, and no state payroll levy either, so every dollar deducted above is federal. The largest is federal income tax at $7,670; Social Security and Medicare account for the remaining $5,738.

Your next dollar would be taxed at 22.0%, all of it federal, while the rate you actually pay across the whole salary is 17.9%. Comparing Wyoming against a state that does tax income, the effective rate is the number to use — the headline bracket overstates the difference.

What actually comes out of a Wyoming paycheck

Wyoming withholds nothing at state level. No income tax, no local income tax, and no employee-funded disability or paid leave premium.

Three federal deductions remain: income tax after the standard deduction, Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% with no cap.

Wyoming goes further than most no-income-tax states in that it levies no corporate income tax either — a distinction shared with only a handful of others, and one reason businesses incorporate there.

How Wyoming funds itself without taxing you

Wyoming’s answer to the revenue question is unlike any other state’s: it taxes what comes out of the ground.

Severance taxes on coal, oil, natural gas and trona, together with federal mineral royalties on extraction from public land, supply a large share of state and local revenue. With a population smaller than most American cities, that revenue goes a long way per resident, which is what makes forgoing both personal and corporate income tax viable.

It also creates an unusual exposure. Wyoming’s budget rises and falls with commodity prices in a way a broad income tax would smooth out. Sustained weakness in coal demand has real consequences for school funding and state services, and the long-term direction of that industry is the central question in Wyoming fiscal policy. The absence of an income tax is not in doubt; what might eventually replace severance revenue if it keeps declining is a live debate.

The lightest overall burden in the country

Plenty of states advertise no income tax while recovering the revenue elsewhere. Texas does it through property tax, Nevada and Tennessee through sales tax. Wyoming is the rare case where the absence is not offset somewhere else.

State sales tax is 4%, among the lowest in the country even after local add-ons. Property tax rates sit well below the national average. By most measures Wyoming carries the lightest total state and local tax burden of any state — not merely on income, but overall.

The trade-offs are not fiscal. Wyoming is the least populous state, winters are severe, and the job market is concentrated in energy, agriculture, tourism and government. The tax position is genuinely attractive; whether the rest of the package fits is a separate question, and it is usually the one that actually decides the move.

Deadlines for the 2026 tax year

There is no Wyoming state return to file and no state deadline. Your only obligation is the federal return, due April 15, 2027 for the 2026 tax year. If you are self-employed, federal estimated payments still fall quarterly in April, June, September and the following January.
