Wyoming Take-Home Pay Overview

Wyoming is one of nine states with no state income tax and no corporate income tax. Wyoming funds its state government primarily through mineral royalties — coal, oil, and natural gas production — as well as property taxes and a modest sales tax. No Wyoming city charges a local income tax. Workers in Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette, and every other city take home 100% of their state-level earnings. Wyoming also has no estate or inheritance tax, making it one of the most comprehensive low-tax environments for both working and retired individuals in the western United States.

Here's what a single Wyoming filer keeps in 2026. On a $50,000 salary, take-home is approximately $42,165 per year ($3,514/month). At $80,000, take-home is $64,578 ($5,382/month). At $100,000, you keep $78,648 ($6,554/month). At $150,000, take-home is $113,182 ($9,432/month). Only federal income tax and FICA are withheld — there is no state, county, or city income tax anywhere in Wyoming.

Compared to neighboring Colorado (4.4% flat income tax), a Wyoming worker earning $80,000 takes home approximately $2,812 more per year. Against Utah (4.5% flat), the advantage is roughly $2,634 annually at $80,000. Against Montana (up to 5.65% top rate), Wyoming workers at $80,000 keep about $3,159 more per year. Jackson, Wyoming — one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country — is partly explained by this tax advantage combined with proximity to no-income-tax advantages.

Watch out: Wyoming's economy is heavily tied to fossil fuel production, which creates volatility in state government revenues and local economies in energy-dependent areas. For workers in the oil and gas sector, this means local economies can swing significantly with energy prices. Wyoming's cost of living is moderate — lower than Colorado in most areas — but housing in popular areas like Jackson has become expensive due to demand from high-income earners attracted by the tax environment. The lack of income tax is a genuine, permanent advantage; the cost of living trade-off depends heavily on which Wyoming city you're in.
