Wyoming does not tax personal income, so a resident earning Wyoming's median household income of $78,680 owes $0 in Wyoming income tax. Only federal income tax and FICA are withheld from wages.

Based on 2026 Wyoming rules and 2026 federal rules, with the standard deduction and no other adjustments. Median income is the 2024 Census figure.

Income tax in Wyoming

Wyoming's budget is dug out of the ground rather than withheld from paychecks. The total severance tax on crude oil, lease condensate, and natural gas is 6% under W.S. 39-14-204, while coal is split by extraction method — 6% for surface-mined coal and 3.75% for underground coal under W.S. 39-14-104. Part of that take is not the legislature's to spend: one and one-half percentage points of the rate is imposed directly by Article 15, Section 19 of the Wyoming constitution, and that portion is deposited into the permanent Wyoming mineral trust fund rather than the general severance tax distribution account. It is an unusual arrangement — a constitutionally mandated savings account fed by mineral extraction, standing in for the income tax the state has no need to levy.

Wyoming income tax structure (2026)

Wyoming has no state income tax. Wages, salaries, and self-employment income are untaxed at the state level — only federal income tax and FICA come out of your paycheck.

Common questions

Do I file a Wyoming income tax return?
Not for wage income. Wyoming has no individual income tax for 2026, so your only income tax return is the federal one, and a $78,680 income — Wyoming's median — owes the state $0.
How much income tax is due on the median Wyoming income?
On Wyoming's median household income of $78,680 (2024 Census figure), a single filer owes about $8,480 in federal income tax and $0 to Wyoming. Adding $6,019 of Social Security and Medicare leaves roughly $64,181.
What taxes do I still pay in Wyoming?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base) and Medicare (1.45%) still apply — together about $14,499 a year at Wyoming's $78,680 median income. Wyoming raises its own revenue through mineral severance, sales, and property taxes.
Why is take-home pay higher in Wyoming?
Only because the state line is zero — federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere. At Wyoming's $78,680 median income, the typical income-taxing state would take about $3,097 more per year that Wyoming residents keep.

Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax advice. Wyoming figures are simplified (credits, local taxes, and AGI adjustments vary) and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. Wyoming has no state income tax, so there is no state schedule to simplify — this calculator covers what comes out of your pay, not the mineral severance, sales, and property taxes that Wyoming relies on instead.
