What a Wyoming paycheck deducts
Wyoming has no personal income tax and no corporate income tax, and there are no city or county wage taxes. A Wyoming pay stub shows only federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, plus voluntary deductions. You complete only the federal Form W-4.
Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and Medicare is 1.45% of all wages plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000. Those percentages are the same in every state, so the difference between a Wyoming paycheck and one in, say, Colorado or Utah is entirely the missing state income tax line.
Semi-monthly pay and the minimum wage
Wyoming requires at least semi-monthly paydays (U.S. Department of Labor summary). Wyoming’s own minimum wage is still $5.15 an hour, but the federal $7.25 applies to any employer covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act, which includes most jobs.
| Salary | Semi-monthly gross | Federal | FICA | State | Semi-monthly take-home |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $35,000 | $1,458 | $84 | $112 | $0 | $1,263 |
| $55,000 | $2,292 | $184 | $175 | $0 | $1,932 |
| $80,000 | $3,333 | $365 | $255 | $0 | $2,713 |
| $110,000 | $4,583 | $640 | $351 | $0 | $3,592 |
| $160,000 | $6,667 | $1,131 | $510 | $0 | $5,026 |
Example: long-hours field job with overtime
Take a married field worker (one income, filing jointly) paid $32 an hour for 55 hours a week. With time-and-a-half after 40 hours, gross pay is about $104,000 a year.
Before any overtime deduction, federal income tax is about $8,120 and FICA $7,956, leaving $87,924. The overtime premium (the extra half-time) is $16 Ă— 15 Ă— 52 = $12,480, which is under the $25,000 joint limit. Deducting it on the federal return cuts tax to about $6,622, a saving of $1,498.
Unless you adjust your W-4, that saving arrives as a refund at tax time rather than in each paycheck.
Filling out the W-4 when it is your only tax form
Since the federal W-4 is the only withholding form in Wyoming, each step affects your whole tax picture:
- Step 1, filing status: choosing “married filing jointly” assumes your spouse has no wages unless you complete Step 2.
- Step 2, multiple jobs or a working spouse: check the box or use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator, or withholding will usually come up short.
- Step 3, dependents: enter $2,200 for each child under 17 and $500 for each other dependent to reduce withholding by the credit amount.
- Step 4, other adjustments: add investment income, expected deductions (such as the overtime deduction) or extra withholding per paycheck.
Per diem, bonuses and other pay
- Bonuses and commissions paid separately are usually withheld at a flat 22% federal rate, rising to 37% above $1 million in a year.
- Travel reimbursements paid under an accountable plan are not wages and are not taxed; amounts paid without substantiation are taxable wages.
- Pre-tax 401(k) contributions (up to $24,500 in 2026) reduce federal income tax; FICA still applies.
