What Wyoming does and doesn't tax
Wyoming does not tax wages, salaries, tips, interest, dividends, pensions or Social Security, and it has no state income tax withholding. Wyoming levies no personal or corporate income tax.
Federal income tax still applies in full — the 2026 federal brackets run from 10% to 37% — and Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) come out of every paycheck. If you earn wages in a state that taxes income, for example by commuting across a border, that state can tax the wages earned there.
