Wyoming has no state income tax on wages, so a Wyoming paycheck only loses federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare). Use the calculators below to see your exact 2026 take-home pay in Wyoming, check the sales tax on a purchase, and estimate a mortgage payment with Wyoming property taxes factored in.
State Paycheck Calculator 2026
Estimate take-home pay after federal tax, FICA and your state’s income tax for the 2026 tax year.
How it works: the 2026 federal standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly) comes off your salary first, then the 2026 federal brackets (10%–37%). FICA is applied properly: 6.2% Social Security on the first $184,500 of wages (2026 wage base), 1.45% Medicare on all wages, plus 0.9% additional Medicare on wages above $200,000 single / $250,000 married filing jointly. State tax applies each state’s own standard deduction/exemptions, then its brackets or flat rate. Local income taxes are not included — many cities and counties (e.g. New York City, Philadelphia, most of Ohio, Maryland counties, Indiana counties, Kentucky) levy their own payroll taxes on top of the state tax.
Wyoming sales tax calculator
The statewide base sales tax rate in Wyoming is 4% in 2026. Cities and counties can add their own local tax on top of the base rate — enter any local add-on below to see the full tax and total price.
Sales Tax Calculator 2026
Estimate the sales tax and total price using each state’s base rate (2026), plus any local add-on.
State base rates are the 2026 state-level rates (local add-ons excluded). Actual combined rates vary widely by city and county — many localities add 1–5%. Five states have no statewide sales tax (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon), though some localities still levy local taxes.
Mortgage calculator for Wyoming homes
The average effective property tax rate in Wyoming is about 0.57% of a home’s value per year. When you use the mortgage calculator below, enter roughly that percentage of the home price in the yearly property tax field for a realistic Wyoming monthly payment.
Mortgage Payment Calculator
Work out your monthly principal & interest payment, total interest and the true total cost of your loan.
How it works: your loan amount (price minus down payment) is repaid in equal monthly instalments using the standard amortisation formula, so early payments are mostly interest and later ones mostly principal. Property tax and insurance, if entered, are simply spread evenly across each month. Your actual rate and payment will depend on your lender, credit profile and the deal you choose.
Wyoming is the emptiest state in the union and the emptiest tax system to match: no personal income tax, no corporate income tax, a 4.00% sales tax, and property taxes at 0.57% on average. The state runs on mineral money — coal, oil, gas and trona pulled out of the ground pay the bills that 580,000 residents don’t have to. If you’re looking for the catch in Wyoming’s tax picture, you’ll mostly find weather.
Income tax in Wyoming in 2026
There is none, and Wyoming is thorough about it. No tax on wages. No tax on pensions, Social Security, or investment income. No state income tax return exists to file. Your salary is touched by federal income tax and FICA only.
Wyoming is also one of the very few states with no corporate income tax, which is why it tops every “business-friendly state” ranking ever published and why Jackson Hole fills with people whose income arrives as capital rather than wages. For a salaried worker the mechanism is simpler: the state never developed an income tax because it never needed one. Severance taxes on extraction have historically covered the budget.
That funding model has one honest caveat: it’s exposed to energy prices. When coal and gas slump, Wyoming’s budget feels it in a way income-tax states don’t. Residents historically accept the trade — and in booms, the state has mailed the surplus back as property tax relief rather than build new taxes.
Worked example: $75,000 salary, single filer
Step 1 — Federal tax. $75,000 − $16,100 standard deduction = $58,900 taxable, coming to $7,670.00 in 2026.
Step 2 — FICA. Social Security and Medicare: $5,737.50.
Step 3 — Wyoming tax. $0.00. There is no state tax form on which to write a number.
Step 4 — Take-home pay. $75,000 − $7,670.00 − $5,737.50 = $61,592.50 a year, about $2,368.94 per bi-weekly paycheck. Colorado, right next door, would take $2,591.60 of that in state tax. Utah would take $3,147.23. Wyoming takes nothing, and — as the next two sections show — it’s nearly as restrained with the taxes it does charge.
Sales tax in Wyoming
The state rate is 4.00%, among the lowest in the country: $40 of tax on a $1,000 purchase. Counties can add their own voter-approved taxes, which typically bring combined rates to somewhere in the 5% to 6% range — still gentle by national standards.
The calculator on this page uses the 4.00% state base. Even fully loaded with local add-ons, a Wyoming register total stays below what most states charge before their local taxes are counted. It’s the mildest version of the sales tax in this entire guide.
Property tax in Wyoming
The average effective rate is 0.57% — a $300,000 home costs about $1,710 a year. Residential property is assessed at just 9.5% of its market value (industrial and mineral property at higher ratios), which is the mechanic behind the low bills: Wyoming taxes your house on less than a tenth of what it’s worth, then applies ordinary mill levies to the sliver.
Recent years have added homeowner relief programs on top, funded by those same energy revenues. The result is a state where the biggest annual tax conversation most residents have is the federal return. If low taxes are the whole assignment, Wyoming is the answer key — the compromises are remoteness, wind, and a housing market in the pretty corners (Teton County is its own universe) rather than anything the tax code does to you.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wyoming tax retirement income?
No — there’s no income tax to apply to it. Pensions, 401(k) withdrawals, Social Security, and investment income are all untouched by the state. It’s a core part of Wyoming’s appeal to retirees who can handle the winters.
What pays for Wyoming’s government if not income tax?
Mineral severance taxes and federal mineral royalties, mainly, plus sales and property taxes. Energy has historically supplied the majority of state revenue — which is why state budgets rise and fall with coal, oil and gas markets.
Is there really no business income tax either?
Correct — no corporate income tax. Businesses pay a modest annual license tax based on assets located in Wyoming instead. It’s a major reason holding companies and LLCs incorporate here.
Any tax surprises for newcomers?
Vehicle registration includes a county fee based on the vehicle’s value and age, which can startle people in year one with a new truck. And Teton County real estate prices will recalibrate your sense of “low cost of living” fast. But the state tax code itself holds no tricks.
