Wyoming: where a $68,000 paycheck goes (2026): Take-home $56,668, Federal income tax $6,130, Social Security $4,216, Medicare $986 — Single filer, standard deduction. Federal 2026, Wyoming 2025 schedule. Computed from the same tables the calculator uses.

The short answer for Wyoming

A single filer earning $68,000 in Wyoming has $11,332 taken out over the 2026 tax year, 16.7% of gross: $6,130 federal income tax, $5,202 Social Security and Medicare, and nothing to the state. Take-home is $56,668.

That is $1,089.77 a week, $2,179.54 every two weeks, $2,361.17 twice a month or $4,722.33 a month. Taxable income of $51,900 after the $16,100 standard deduction puts the last dollar in the 22.0% federal bracket. On a $60,000 salary Wyoming ranks 1 of 51 for take-home, $2,013 above the national median of $48,377.

The Wyoming state line

Wyoming does not tax wages, so the state line on a Wyoming stub is $0.

Wyoming funds itself from severance taxes on oil, gas, coal and minerals rather than from residents. It has no income tax, a 4% state sales tax and low property taxes, which is why it repeatedly ranks as one of the lightest overall tax burdens in the country.

Neither a wage nor a business is taxed on its income in Wyoming, and no local jurisdiction levies one either, so the light burden is by design rather than by accident. State sales tax is 4% with counties permitted to add their own, and property taxes are low by national standards. The reason the arithmetic works is that most of the state's revenue is paid by industry rather than by residents: severance taxes on oil, gas, coal and trona, plus federal mineral royalties, do the work an income tax does elsewhere. That also makes Wyoming's budget unusually sensitive to commodity prices, which is a risk to public services rather than to your paycheck, though it is worth knowing if you are moving here for the tax position alone.
