How Wyoming taxes your paycheck
Wyoming doesn't tax wages, so your 2026 paycheck has no state income tax taken out. Wyoming towns and counties don't tax wages either.
Federal deductions still come out. Federal income tax depends on your W-4 and your income. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500, and Medicare takes 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000. Wyoming has no state payroll program for disability or paid leave.
For example, a married couple earning $100,000 together pays $0 in Wyoming income tax. Their Social Security and Medicare come to $7,650 for the year, plus federal income tax.
