Wyoming wage garnishment calculator
Disposable earnings is your pay after legally required deductions: federal and state taxes, Social Security, and Medicare. It is close to your take-home pay, before voluntary deductions like a 401(k) or health premiums.
The Wyoming rule and the federal ceiling land on the same figure here, so either way this is the most a creditor could take.
These are the Wyoming figures applied to what you entered: a plain summary of the limits, not a determination that any garnishment is correct or incorrect. Court orders set the actual withholding.

Plain-language summary, not legal advice.
Informational only, not legal advice. Garnishment limits carry exceptions this summary cannot weigh (support orders, taxes, student loans, existing court orders), and exemptions often must be claimed by a deadline. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Wyoming wage garnishment reference, cited to Wyo. Stat. §1-15-408.
How wage garnishment works in Wyoming
On an ordinary consumer judgment a Wyoming creditor can take the lesser of 25% of your disposable pay or the amount by which your weekly disposable pay exceeds $217.50, so the first $217.50 of weekly take-home is always protected.
Wyoming follows the federal garnishment ceiling. Wyo. Stat. §1-15-408 caps garnishment of earnings for personal services at the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount by which weekly disposable earnings exceed 30 times the federal minimum wage, which is $217.50 at $7.25. Disposable earnings are what is left after amounts required by law to be withheld. Wyoming has no state minimum wage above the federal rate for this purpose, so the floor stays at $217.50. The parallel consumer credit provision at Wyo. Stat. §40-14-505 applies the same ceiling to consumer credit sales and loans.
This calculator shows the Wyoming figures applied to your own pay. It is informational only and not legal advice: support orders, taxes, and student loans follow their own rules, and exemptions often must be claimed by a short deadline. For the full rule, the exemption steps, and the citations, see the Wyoming wage garnishment reference, cited to Wyo. Stat. §1-15-408.
