All calculations are strictly based on the fact that Wyoming levies no individual state income tax. Therefore, the applied state tax rate is 0% for all filing statuses and income levels.
Tutti i calcoli si basano rigorosamente sulle formule e sui dati forniti da questa fonte.
The Formula Explained
State tax owed: \( T_{\text{state}} = r_{\text{state}} \times I_{\text{taxable}} \)
For Wyoming: \( r_{\text{state}} = 0 \Rightarrow T_{\text{state}} = 0 \)
Effective state tax rate: \( \text{EffRate} = \begin{cases} \dfrac{T_{\text{state}}}{I_{\text{taxable}}}\times 100\% & \text{if } I_{\text{taxable}} > 0 \\ 0\% & \text{if } I_{\text{taxable}} = 0 \end{cases} \)
Glossary of Variables
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
Suppose your annual income is $75,000 and you contribute $5,000 to pre-tax benefits.
- Compute state taxable income. For explanatory purposes we use: \( I_{\text{taxable}} = \max(0,\; \text{Income} - \text{PreTax}) = \max(0,\; 75{,}000 - 5{,}000) = 70{,}000 \)
- Apply Wyoming’s state rate: \( r_{\text{state}} = 0 \Rightarrow T_{\text{state}} = 0 \times 70{,}000 = 0 \)
- Effective state rate: \( \text{EffRate} = \dfrac{0}{70{,}000} \times 100\% = 0\% \)
Result: Wyoming state income tax owed is $0. This remains true for any filing status and income amount under current law.
