Calculating the fully burdened labor rate in Wyoming starts with federal payroll taxes and adds the state-specific pieces. No state income tax and a low SUI rate. This calculator pre-fills Wyoming's estimated new-employer SUI rate of 1.0% on a $30,900 wage base, then lets you layer in workers compensation, benefits, and overhead.

Wyoming's estimated new-employer SUI rate of 1.0% on a $30,900 wage base caps state unemployment at $309 per employee per year, inside the typical range of $219 to $434 and the 25th highest of the 51 jurisdictions on this site. At a $30 pay rate the wage base is met in week 26, and SUI stops accruing for the rest of the year. Wyoming has no state income tax on wages, so the employee keeps more of the same pay rate. For a staffing agency billing in Wyoming, SUI is a mid-pack cost and the missing income tax means candidates keep more of the same pay rate. Both help when quoting against a competitor placing in a higher-tax state.

The result is the true hourly and annual cost of an employee in Wyoming: the number you need before setting a bill rate or comparing a W2 hire against a 1099 contractor.

Wyoming Labor Burden FAQ

What is the labor burden rate in Wyoming?
In Wyoming, the employer labor burden combines federal taxes (FICA 7.65%, FUTA 0.6%) with the state unemployment (SUI) rate, estimated around 1.0% for new employers on a $30,900 wage base, plus workers compensation, benefits, and overhead. Most Wyoming employers land between 15% and 30% total burden. Every rate is editable in the calculator above.
How is the fully burdened rate calculated in Wyoming?
Add all employer costs as a percentage of the base wage, then multiply the pay rate by (1 + total burden). The calculator pre-fills Wyoming's SUI estimate and lets you adjust workers comp and benefits to match your business.
Does Wyoming have a state income tax?
No. Wyoming has no state income tax on wages. That affects worker take-home (see the 1099 vs W2 calculator) but not the employer's labor burden, which is driven by SUI, workers comp, and benefits.
Are these numbers tax advice?
No. These are editable 2025 estimates. Wyoming SUI rates are experience-rated per employer and workers comp varies by class code. Confirm with a licensed accountant.
