Wyoming Wage Garnishment Calculator
Wyoming’s continuing-garnishment limit is the federal formula: 25% of disposable earnings or the amount above $217.50 a week, whichever is less.
Deposited earnings keep their protection
- Exempt earnings stay exempt after they are deposited if they went into your account within 20 calendar days before a garnishment of the account is served.§1
- The writ directs your employer to pay you the exempt amount at the time your earnings are normally paid.§1
- Equivalent amounts for pay periods other than a week are set by the administrator of the Wyoming Uniform Consumer Credit Code.§1

A Casper monthly paycheck
A Casper oilfield employee paid $4,100.00 a month with $520.00 withheld keeps at least $2,685.00; a continuing garnishment takes the federal 25%, $895.00. If exempt pay is deposited and the account is garnished within 20 days, the exempt part stays protected.
