Wyoming context:
This calculator estimates a potential federal overtime-related savings scenario under the 2025 proposal. State and local tax outcomes depend on Wyoming rules and your full household picture, so use the official sources below to validate what applies to you.
- Overtime âpremiumâ is modeled as 0.5Ă your hourly rate per overtime hour (the time-and-a-half premium portion).
- Annual cap: 2,500 (single) / $25,000 (married filing jointly).
- Phase-out starts at MAGI 50,000 (single) / $300,000 (MFJ), reducing the deductible amount by 00 per ,000 over the threshold.
- If MAGI is blank, itâs estimated from your weekly pay and overtime scenario.
How to Use This Estimate for Planning
Overtime can materially change take-home pay in Wyoming, especially for energy field work, mining, and seasonal operations. This tool focuses on the federal side of the proposal: it models a capped overtime âpremiumâ amount and then applies an income phase-out based on filing status and estimated household income (MAGI). The output is an estimate meant to help you compare scenarios (for example: âWhat if I work 6 more OT hours per week?â), not a guarantee of your final tax filing result.
If you leave MAGI blank, the calculator estimates it from the entered weekly pay and overtime scenario. If you know your approximate household income, entering MAGI can reduce surprises because phase-out behavior is driven by that number. Either way, remember that real returns can differ based on deductions, credits, and how a final law is written and implemented.
What to confirm (and where)
- Wyoming Department of Revenue: state income tax and withholding rules (if applicable), definitions, and current guidance.
- IRS tools: whether a W-4 update makes sense after you model a scenario here.
- Your pay stub: how overtime is computed and reported for your specific job (rules can vary by employer and pay type).
A practical workflow is: (1) model a few overtime scenarios here, (2) check official guidance, and (3) only then adjust withholding if youâre confident the change is appropriate.
