Wyoming Unemployment Benefits Overview
Wyoming has no state income tax and its constitution explicitly prohibits one. The state is one of only seven with no individual income tax on wages or investments.
Wyoming's state minimum wage is $5.15/hr, but since most employers are covered by the FLSA, the federal minimum of $7.25/hr effectively applies. Wyoming and Georgia are the only states with minimum wages below the federal level.
Wyoming relies on mineral extraction taxes (severance taxes on coal, oil, and natural gas), sales tax, and federal mineral royalties for revenue. The state has a $1.8+ billion rainy day fund.
The state sales tax of 4% is supplemented by county taxes up to 2%, creating combined rates of 4-6%. Wyoming has no corporate income tax, franchise tax, or inventory tax.
Wyoming has no estate tax, inheritance tax, disability insurance, or paid family leave programs. Property taxes average approximately 0.57% and are capped by statute.
