Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wyoming have a state income tax?
No. Wyoming is one of nine US states with no state income tax. The others are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. Wyoming is also known for having no corporate income tax.
What percentage of my paycheck goes to taxes in Wyoming?
In Wyoming, your federal taxes depend on your income and filing status. For a single filer earning $55,000/year, roughly 17–20% of gross pay goes to federal taxes and FICA combined. Wyoming's lack of state income tax makes it one of the best states for take-home pay.
What is FICA and how much is it?
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act and covers Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%). Together that's 7.65% of your gross pay. Social Security stops being withheld once your earnings exceed $176,100 for the year. Medicare has no cap.
How do pre-tax deductions like a 401(k) reduce my taxes?
Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health insurance premiums are subtracted from your gross pay before federal income tax is calculated. This reduces your taxable income, which means you pay less federal tax. A $5,000 annual 401(k) contribution could save you $600–$1,100 in federal taxes depending on your bracket.
