Wyoming has no state income tax
Wyoming does not tax wages or salaries, so a Wyoming paycheck is federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare only — the same federal rules that apply everywhere in the country. There is no state withholding form to fill out alongside your federal Form W-4.

Frequently asked questions
What gets withheld from a paycheck?
Federal income tax (based on your Form W-4), Social Security at 6.2% up to $184,500 of wages for the year, and Medicare at 1.45% with no limit, plus an extra 0.9% on wages above $200,000. Most states add their own income tax on top of this.
Does my state have an income tax?
Wyoming has no state income tax, so a Wyoming paycheck has federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare withheld, and nothing for state income tax.
How do 401(k) contributions affect my paycheck?
A traditional 401(k), 403(b) or 457 contribution lowers the wages used for federal income tax withholding, but not the wages used for Social Security or Medicare. A Roth contribution is the opposite: it is taken after tax, so it does not lower withholding at all.
Do health insurance and HSA deductions lower my taxes?
If they run through your employer's Section 125 cafeteria plan (most employer health, dental, vision and HSA payroll deductions do), yes: they lower both your federal taxable wages and your Social Security and Medicare wages.
Why is this only an estimate?
Your actual paycheck can differ based on your employer's exact payroll software, local taxes, benefit elections not listed here, and any state or local rules this calculator does not yet cover. Your final tax liability is settled when you file your return.
