Hourly pay in Wyoming
Most Wyoming workers are covered by the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour; the state's own $5.15 applies only to the few employers federal law doesn't reach. Tipped employees can be paid $2.13 in cash as long as tips bring them up to $7.25.
Overtime. Wyoming has no general overtime law of its own, so federal rules apply: time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime.
Tips. Tips you report to your employer are wages: Social Security, Medicare and federal income tax apply to them. Wyoming adds nothing on top.
Breaks. Not required by Wyoming law — if yours are unpaid, don't count them in your hours.
Because hours change from week to week, your withholding changes too: a week with lots of overtime is withheld as if you earned that much every week, so more comes out. It usually evens out when you file your return.
What comes out of a Wyoming paycheck
- Federal income tax withholding — worked out from your pay and your Form W-4, using the IRS tables for 2026.
- Social Security — 6.2% of your pay, up to $184,500 of pay in 2026. Above that, it stops for the rest of the year.
- Medicare — 1.45% of all your pay, plus 0.9% on pay above $200,000 in the year.
Wyoming has no individual income tax, so there is no state withholding. A Wyoming paycheck has only the federal deductions above taken out, plus whatever you chose, such as a 401(k), health insurance or union dues.
Tips and overtime in 2026
New federal deductions apply for 2025 through 2028: up to $25,000 for qualified tips, and up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) for the extra "half" of time-and-a-half overtime. Both phase out above $150,000 of income ($300,000 joint).
These are deductions on your tax return. Your employer still takes Social Security and Medicare out of tips and overtime, and still withholds income tax unless you tell it otherwise. If you expect to claim them, you can put the expected amount in Step 4(b) of your W-4 (and in the Step 4(b) box above) so less income tax is withheld during the year.
