Estimate only — these are not official figures

The weekly benefit applies Wyoming's exact statutory formula, cited in the methodology and sources, so it matches the law when the wages you enter are accurate. The page is still labeled an estimate because its monthly figure (the weekly amount times 4.33) is not an amount the state pays and only the state agency can decide whether you qualify. The maximum weekly benefit ($671) and duration (26 weeks) come from published sources.

Do not rely on these amounts for budgeting or payment. For exact amounts, check the Wyoming state unemployment insurance agency (file there and use its official benefits estimator for your actual Weekly Benefit Amount determination).

How This Calculator Works

Calculation methodology and assumptions

Wyoming's weekly benefit is 4 percent of the wages in your highest-paid base-period quarter, lowered to a whole dollar, and no more than 55 percent of the statewide weekly wage (W.S. 27-3-303(a)). That ceiling is recomputed for benefit years starting July 1, so the calculator asks for it and starts from the $671 the U.S. Department of Labor lists in its July 2026 table. The claim's total is the lesser of 26 weekly amounts or 30 percent of base-period wages, rounded up to the next whole weekly amount (W.S. 27-3-304). The statute also allows weekly amounts of $90 or more to be cut to 85 percent while the governor certifies the fund as unable to pay full benefits (27-3-303(d)); the calculator does not apply that cut, and your determination will show it if it is in force. There is no dependents' allowance, and the qualifying tests (base-period wages of 1.4 times the high quarter and at least 8% of the statewide average annual wage) are not checked.

Key State Information

Wyoming holds a claim to 30% of base-period wages, so a short work year ends it early: $10,000 in the best quarter pays $400 a week, and $30,000 for the year allows 23 weeks ($9,200), while $14,000 for the year allows 11 weeks ($4,400).

Example Calculation

Let's review the inputs that set unemployment benefits in Wyoming.

Wyoming uses its own benefit formula from state law rather than a general 50%-of-wage estimate. Enter the exact quarter/base-period wage and eligibility fields requested by the calculator; the required inputs differ by state and cannot be reconstructed safely from median household income.

Result: Published maximum weekly amount: $671. Current maximum duration: 26 weeks. These are ceilings, not a typical award; the calculator above applies Wyoming's source-backed formula to your own wage history, and only the state agency determines eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is unemployment in Wyoming?

4% of your highest base-period quarter: $10,000 in that quarter gives $400 a week, up to the maximum recomputed each July 1 ($671 in the July 2026 DOL table) (W.S. 27-3-303).

How long can I collect unemployment in Wyoming?

Up to 26 weeks, but the total is held to 30% of base-period wages and then rounded up to a whole week. $30,000 of base-period wages at $400 a week allows 23 weeks (W.S. 27-3-304).

Can Wyoming reduce my weekly benefit?

Yes, in one case: while the governor certifies the fund as unable to pay full benefits, weekly amounts of $90 or more are cut to 85%, never below $90 (W.S. 27-3-303(d)). Earnings in a week also reduce that week's payment once they pass half of your weekly amount (27-3-303(c)).
