Figure A Where each $100 of gross pay goes
Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. Your highest slices are highlighted; the totals are exactly what the calculator above used.
| Slice of taxable income | Amount in slice | Rate | Tax on slice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal | |||
| Slice 1 — $0 to $12,400 | $12,400 | 10% | $1,240 |
| Slice 2 — $12,400 to $50,400 | $38,000 | 12% | $4,560 |
| Slice 3 — $50,400 to $58,900 | $8,500 | 22% | $1,870 |
| Federal income tax | $7,670 | ||
| Wyoming income tax — none | $0 | ||
The solid line is what you keep in Wyoming; the dashed line is the median of all 51 jurisdictions at the same salary (single filer). Where the lines cross is where Wyoming stops being the better deal.
Figure B Take-home pay as salary rises
If every dollar you earned from January 1 went to tax, this is the day you'd stop paying and start keeping.
Figure C The tax year, day by day
You work until Mar 7 — day 66 of 365 — to pay your total 2026 tax bill of $13,408. Everything you earn after that is yours.
On $75,000, a single filer here keeps $61,593. The median state keeps $59,018 — you are $2,575 ahead. See all 51 states ranked by take-home pay.

Single filer, no pre-tax deductions. The $75,000 row is the calculator's default above.
The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Wyoming.
Wyoming has never enacted an individual income tax. There are no Wyoming brackets, no Wyoming standard deduction, no Wyoming withholding from paychecks and no state income tax return for individuals — residents file only a federal return. Wages, salaries, self-employment income, investment income and retirement income are all untaxed by the state.

Wyoming also levies no corporate income tax, making it one of only two states with neither an individual nor a corporate income tax. Pass-through business profits are likewise untaxed at the state level. Businesses are not untaxed altogether: they still face Wyoming sales and use taxes, property taxes, annual report licence taxes for entities, and industry-specific charges.

The gap is filled largely by taxing what comes out of the ground. Wyoming imposes severance taxes on mineral extraction — including 6% on oil and gas and 7% on surface coal — alongside federal mineral royalties and earnings from the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund. Mineral revenue has historically supplied a very large share of state revenue, which is why Wyoming maintains an unusually large Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account ('rainy day fund') against commodity downturns.

With no income tax, there is nothing for Wyoming to tax: Social Security benefits, pension and 401(k)/IRA withdrawals, dividends and capital gains all escape Wyoming tax entirely (federal tax still applies). Wyoming also levies no state estate tax and no inheritance tax.

No. Wyoming has no individual income tax of any kind — no tax on wages, no tax on investment income, and no Wyoming income tax return to file. Your paycheck has federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) withheld, but there is no Wyoming withholding and no state return at the end of the year.
No. Wyoming is one of the very few states with no corporate income tax at all — C corporations, S corporations, LLCs and partnerships pay no Wyoming tax on their profits. Businesses still pay other Wyoming charges, such as sales and use tax, property tax, licence and filing fees, and severance taxes if they extract minerals.
It isn't taxed, because Wyoming has no income tax to tax it with. Social Security, pensions, 401(k) and IRA withdrawals, and investment income are all free of Wyoming state tax. Federal tax on those income sources still applies exactly as it does in every other state.
Mainly from minerals. Wyoming levies severance taxes on oil, natural gas and coal extraction (for example 6% on oil and gas and 7% on surface coal), receives federal mineral royalties, and earns investment income from permanent trust funds such as the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund — supplemented by a 4% state sales tax and property taxes. That mineral dependence is also why Wyoming keeps a large budget reserve: severance revenue swings hard with commodity prices.
No — there is no Wyoming W-2 state form or withholding certificate, because there is no Wyoming income tax to withhold. If a payroll form or an old employer setup shows Wyoming withholding, that is an error to correct with payroll. New residents sometimes see withholding continue from a previous state's job setup after a move; tell your employer you are now a Wyoming resident.
On the income tax side, both are zero — neither state taxes wages. The differences are elsewhere: Washington taxes large long-term capital gains (7% above its annual deduction) and charges a 0.58% WA Cares payroll premium, while Wyoming taxes neither gains nor wages and has no such premium. Wyoming does have a 4% state sales tax plus local additions; Washington has no income tax but comparatively high sales taxes.
