Wyoming keeps the modeled household bill about $1,318 lower than Florida. Neither state taxes wages. One fixed household — single filer, $100,000 wages, $400,000 home, $20,000 of taxable spending — so property and sales decide the gap (paycheck tax is tied).

Wyoming vs Florida with no wage income tax (2026)
Both states are on the nine-state list. This page holds the household constant — $100,000 single-filer wages, a $400,000 home, $20,000 of taxable spending — then adds paycheck tax, property tax, and sales tax so neither state can look cheaper just by skipping wage PIT.
Wyoming models the lower total by $1,318 a year. Read the line items — the winner often wins on property or sales, not on the paycheck.
Wyoming does not tax wages. It has the lowest combined household bill among the nine on this vignette. Florida does not tax wages. Sales and property still apply on the household vignette.
How Wyoming and Florida split the bill
Wyoming: $20,820 paycheck, $2,120 property, $1,078 sales. Florida: $20,820 paycheck, $3,120 property, $1,396 sales.
Take-home matches at $79,180 — federal income tax and FICA are the same, and neither state adds wage PIT.
As a share of wages the combined bill is 24.0% in Wyoming vs 25.3% in Florida.
Tax total vs cost of living
Wyoming’s COL index is 93.7; Florida’s is 100.7 (US average = 100). A lower household tax total can still sit in a more expensive grocery and rent basket.
Among the nine, Tennessee has the lowest COL index (88.9) and Alaska the highest (129).
Use the tax columns to compare levies and the COL column to compare prices. They answer different questions.
What this comparison leaves out
Local city wage taxes are not in play here (none of the nine models a separate city PIT on this vignette). Employer payroll taxes, credits beyond calculator defaults, and Washington’s capital gains excise on certain long-term gains are excluded from the wage household total.
Property uses a statewide effective rate on a fixed $400,000 home — not your county millage or purchase price. Sales tax uses a combined state + average local rate on a fixed $20,000 basket.
The nine-state range at $100,000 is $24,018 (Wyoming) to $28,060 (Texas).
The same pair at other salaries
Home value and spending stay fixed, so the ladder mostly moves with paycheck tax. At $75,000, Wyoming is lower by $1,318. At $150,000, Wyoming is lower by $1,318.
If you itemize, buy a different-priced home, or spend more on taxable goods, reorder the pair in the property and sales hubs rather than treating this ladder as a forecast.
Concepts to know for this comparison
Short definitions so the wage, property, sales, and COL lines add up the way you expect.
Wage PIT is already zero
The interesting gap is property, sales, and (for Washington) modeled employee PFML — not a state wage bracket.
Household total
Add paycheck tax, property on $400,000, and sales on $20,000. That is the ranking metric on the hub.
COL index
A separate price index. It does not change the tax dollars in the scoreboard.
