Bonus inputs

Use gross-to-net for a planned bonus or net-to-gross when a take-home amount was promised. This tool is limited to one-time or nonperiodic taxable cash bonuses; use a full paycheck calculation for regular or periodic wages, commissions, and overtime.

Gross bonus amount Enter the taxable bonus to be paid.

Federal withholding method

Payment presentation Payment presentation controls the federal method. Wyoming individual-income-tax withholding remains $0. A worker may still owe another state's withholding when services or residency create a separate obligation.

Regular wages had federal income tax withheld

The optional 22% federal flat method generally depends on regular wages having had income tax withheld in the current or prior year.

Pay frequency

Prior plus same-pay regular Social Security wages before this bonus For a bonus paid with regular wages, include those same-pay regular wages before allocating the remaining 2026 $184,500 wage base to this bonus.

Prior plus same-pay regular Medicare wages before this bonus For a bonus paid with regular wages, include those same-pay regular wages before applying the employer's $200,000 Additional Medicare withholding threshold to this bonus.

YTD supplemental wages before bonus Include supplemental wages paid in 2026 by this employer and businesses under common control for the $1 million federal test.

Regular wages for this pay period Used for aggregate withholding comparisons.

Federal aggregate settings (Form W-4 2020 or later)

Aggregate estimates use the 2026 automated percentage method for a Form W-4 from 2020 or later. A 2019-or-earlier W-4, exempt employee, nonresident alien, or earlier same-period supplemental payment requires payroll review.

Wyoming employee tax treatment

Wyoming individual-income-tax withholding is $0. The Wyoming Legislative Service Office lists a 0% individual income-tax rate. W.S. 39-12-101 separately prohibits counties, cities, towns, and other political subdivisions from taxing wages or earnings, so the local wage-tax line is also $0. Federal withholding and FICA still apply, and another state or tribal jurisdiction can require separate review for multistate facts.

Employer Wyoming UI, workers' compensation, and FUTA

Wyoming UI employer profile Wyoming assigns new-employer rates by industry and experienced-employer rates by account history, each with additional factors. Use the total rate on the current DWS notice.

Prior plus same-pay regular Wyoming UI wages before bonus Bonuses are Wyoming UI wages when covered. Keep this total separate from Social Security, Medicare, workers' compensation, and FUTA wage records.

Wyoming UI wage base Wyoming DWS publishes a $33,800 taxable wage base for calendar year 2026.

Assigned total Wyoming UI rate Required for a complete employer-cost estimate. Enter the total rate from the employer's DWS notice; do not use the 1% statutory base floor or 8.5% registration-failure base as a universal rate.

Wyoming UI-taxable bonus percentage Use less than 100% only for supportable multistate allocation, successor, or excluded-wage facts. Wyoming UI is employer-only.

Wyoming workers' compensation estimate Coverage and classification depend on the employer's business activity. Wyoming requires coverage for listed extra-hazardous industries and permits optional coverage in other cases.

2026 WC base rate per $100 of payroll Enter the assigned classification rate. The official 2026 table ranges from $0.05 to $7.13 per $100; one statewide rate would be misleading.

Experience modification rating (EMR) Use the employer's current EMR. A new-employer planning estimate commonly starts at 1.00.

Post-EMR discount or surcharge multiplier Use 1.00 when no documented adjustment applies. Enter 0.90 for a 10% discount or 1.10 for a 10% surcharge.

WC-reportable bonus percentage Ordinary covered-employee bonuses are gross earnings. Do not use actual bonus wages for an owner or officer subject to the special elected-coverage reporting rule.

Prior plus same-pay regular FUTA wages before bonus Keep FUTA wages separate and apply the remaining $7,000 federal wage base.

Estimated FUTA rate after credit 0.6% assumes the maximum state-unemployment credit. The 2026 credit-reduction list is not final until after the November 10 determination.

Employer-side estimate only. Wyoming UI, workers' compensation premiums, FUTA, and employer FICA never reduce employee take-home. A reimbursing UI employer, owner or officer, multistate worker, or employer with discounts, surcharges, deductibles, or multiple WC classes requires record-specific review.

What this calculator includes

Federal supplemental methods

Model eligible 22% flat withholding, mandatory 37% on the portion above $1 million, and the 2026 Publication 15-T aggregate method for a 2020-or-later Form W-4.

Wyoming and local wage tax at $0

Show both employee lines separately: the state individual rate is 0%, and W.S. 39-12-101 bars local wage or earnings taxes.

Independent wage tests

Test Social Security, Medicare, Wyoming UI, workers' compensation, and FUTA from the facts and bases that govern each system.

Employee and employer costs separated

Wyoming UI, optional workers' compensation, FUTA, and employer FICA appear only in employer cost and never reduce take-home.

This is a 2026 withholding estimate for an ordinary taxable cash bonus paid to a W-2 employee. Pretax benefits, retirement deferrals, wage exclusions, earlier same-period supplemental payments, exempt or pre-2020 Forms W-4, multiple employers, successor/common-paymaster rules, tribal or multistate sourcing, workers' compensation owner/officer rules, and payroll-provider rounding can change the actual paycheck.

Wyoming bonus withholding FAQ

Does Wyoming withhold individual income tax from a bonus?

No Wyoming individual-income-tax withholding is added. Federal income-tax withholding and FICA can still apply to taxable bonus wages.

Can a Wyoming city or county tax the bonus?

No local wage or earnings tax is added. W.S. 39-12-101 prohibits Wyoming political subdivisions from imposing a tax based on wages or earnings.

When can an employer use the federal 22% method?

It is an optional method for a separately paid or separately identified supplemental amount when regular wages had federal income tax withheld in the current or immediately preceding year. Otherwise aggregate rules apply.

What happens above $1 million of supplemental wages?

The calculator applies 37% to the portion above the cumulative calendar-year threshold, without regard to Form W-4, and includes commonly controlled businesses in the test. IRS rules may also permit 37% on the entire threshold-crossing payment; this estimator does not model that election.

Does Wyoming unemployment tax reduce take-home?

No. Wyoming UI is employer-paid and cannot be deducted from employee wages. The 2026 taxable wage base is $33,800; enter the total rate from the employer's DWS notice.

Are bonuses included in Wyoming workers' compensation payroll?

For an ordinary covered employee, yes: statutory gross earnings include bonuses. The optional employer estimate uses bonus payroll divided by 100, multiplied by the assigned class rate, EMR, and entered adjustment. Special owner or officer rules require review.

Why are the wage fields separate?

Social Security, Medicare, Wyoming UI, workers' compensation, and FUTA have different definitions, limits, or classification rules. Separate inputs prevent one system from contaminating another.

Is the 0.6% FUTA estimate final for 2026?

No. It assumes the maximum state credit. Credit-reduction states are determined after November 10, so the rate remains editable.

What does net-to-gross do?

It searches to the cent for the smallest gross bonus that reaches the desired displayed net under the selected withholding method and thresholds.

Can multistate work change the result?

Yes. Wyoming UI follows location-of-services rules, while another jurisdiction may require employee withholding. Use the allocation only with supportable payroll facts.

Official sources and review date

Primary official material was checked on August 4, 2026. Reconfirm the employee's Form W-4, the employer's assigned total Wyoming UI rate, workers' compensation coverage, class rate and EMR, and the final 2026 FUTA credit status before production payroll.
