Wyoming Tax, Licensing, and Market Notes
No state income tax. Wyoming does not tax earned income. At a $200/hr locum rate, your take-home advantage over a 10% state tax state is approximately $20/hr before federal taxes.
Wyoming is a small-population rural premium market with a strong locum demand driven by geographic isolation. Wyoming is an IMLC compact state. Most Wyoming locum work is at critical access hospitals in smaller communities. Cheyenne and Casper are the only significant population centers. No state income tax.
Licensing: Wyoming participates in the IMLC. Qualifying physicians can use it to obtain a separate Wyoming medical license through an expedited process.
