Wyoming nanny tax FAQ
How does the calculator estimate Wyoming nanny taxes?
The calculator estimates the full employer cost for a household employee in Wyoming: federal FICA (15.3% combined, split between you and your employee), federal FUTA (0.6% effective on the first $7,000), and Wyoming SUTA (0.19% - 8.7%). Wyoming has no state income tax, disability, or PFL programs that affect household payroll, which keeps the calculation simpler than in many other states. Numbers update for tax year 2026 and reflect the 2026 FICA threshold of $3,000.
Does Wyoming require state income tax withholding from a nanny's paycheck?
Wyoming has no state income tax. There is nothing to withhold from your nanny's paycheck on the state side. You still owe federal FICA, FUTA, and Schedule H, plus Wyoming's unemployment insurance obligations.
What's the minimum hourly rate I can pay a nanny in Wyoming?
Wyoming uses the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour for household employees. Some local ordinances may set a higher floor — verify your city or county. FLSA overtime (1.5x for hours over 40 in a week) applies to most household employees, with a narrow exception for live-in nannies who are FLSA-exempt from overtime (but not from minimum wage).
Does Wyoming add disability or paid family leave premiums?
No. Wyoming does not require state disability insurance or paid family leave for household employees. Your obligations are the federal baseline (FICA, FUTA, Schedule H) plus Wyoming state unemployment insurance.
Why does my Wyoming nanny's net pay differ from the calculator total?
In Wyoming, the gross-to-net difference comes from federal FICA (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare = 7.65% withheld from the employee), any federal income tax your nanny chose to have withheld. Your share — the employer FICA match and FUTA + SUTA — sits on top of the gross, not subtracted from it. The calculator separates "employer cost" (your total outlay) from "employee net pay" (what lands in their bank account).
