What Are Payroll Taxes?

Payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks fund Social Security and Medicare, to which the employer also makes payroll tax contributions.

The Social Security tax is paid by both the employee and the employer at a rate of 6.2% of the employee’s wages. The Medicare tax is also paid by both employee and employer, but at a rate of 1.45%.

Employers are also required to pay taxes under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA). The employer must also collect federal income tax from employee paychecks, and pay that amount to the IRS. The rate is determined by the employee’s tax bracket.

Each state also has specific state payroll taxes that must be withheld and paid.

Wyoming Payroll Taxes

There is no state or local income tax in Wyoming. However, in addition to Social Security and Medicare tax, employers are required to pay state unemployment taxes (SUTA).

State unemployment tax is an employer-paid tax and not withheld from employees. SUTA tax rates in Wyoming range from 0.48% to 9.78% for established businesses. 

If you’re a new business owner, you’ll need to register and submit documentation to have your SUTA rate determined. If you do not submit the appropriate forms, you will automatically be assigned a SUTA rate of 8.5%. 

The current SUTA taxable wage base in Wyoming is $27,300.
