Wyoming pay rules worth knowing

Wyoming requires employers to pay at least twice a month, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's summary of state payday laws.
When you leave a job, your final paycheck is due by your employer's next regular payday.

What’s withheld from a Wyoming paycheck

A Wyoming pay stub shows federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and no state taxes. Wyoming has no personal income tax, no state disability or paid-leave premium, and no local income tax, so the state column in the take-home table is $0 at every salary.

That also means there’s no Wyoming withholding form to fill out. Your federal W-4 is the only tax form that affects your paycheck.

The $5.15 minimum wage, and why it’s really $7.25

Wyoming’s own minimum wage is $5.15 an hour. In practice, most Wyoming workers are covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and must be paid at least $7.25. The state rate matters only for jobs the federal law doesn’t cover. If you’re paid by the hour, check your rate against $7.25, not $5.15.

For tipped jobs, federal rules allow a cash wage of $2.13 an hour as long as tips bring total pay to at least $7.25. Choose Hourly in the calculator above to see what a given rate and schedule leaves you per paycheck.

How Wyoming funds itself

Minerals. Wyoming taxes the minerals it produces, including oil, natural gas and coal. Producers pay state severance taxes and county ad valorem (property) taxes on the value of what they extract. Those taxes are paid by the companies, not withheld from workers’ pay.

Sales tax. The state rate is 4%. Most counties add 1% or more in optional taxes, so as of October 1, 2026, combined rates run from 4% to 7%, with 9% in the two resort districts in Teton County. Food for home consumption is exempt, so a typical grocery bill carries no sales tax. The sales tax calculator shows what a given rate adds to other purchases.

Property tax. Wyoming has several programs that limit what homeowners pay:

A 25% exemption on assessed value for an owner-occupied single-family home. You have to notify the county assessor; for the 2027 tax year, the deadline is March 1, 2027.
A limit on how fast the taxable value of a single-family home can rise: anything above last year’s assessed value plus 4% is exempt. It doesn’t apply if you bought the home in the prior year or the value comes from new construction or an addition.
A 50% exemption for owners 65 or older who have paid Wyoming property tax for at least 25 years and live in the home at least 8 months a year.
A property tax refund for lower-income residents of at least 5 years, when the legislature funds it.

These programs reduce the tax on your home, not your paycheck, but they’re worth claiming if you buy. The home affordability calculator helps you fold property tax into a monthly budget.

Moving to Wyoming

Once your employer has your Wyoming address and work location, state income tax withholding should stop. Check your first stub to be sure. You’ll likely file a part-year return in your former state for wages earned there before the move. If you keep working remotely for an employer in another state, ask payroll which state’s rules it’s applying. The salary calculator converts take-home figures into hourly, weekly or monthly amounts.

Estimates only. Your employer’s payroll system and your W-4 determine your actual paycheck.
