Your household
Tell us who's in your household. This determines which income and resource limits apply.
Include everyone you buy and prepare food with. Spouses and most children under 22 must be included even if they eat separately.
Your home, most vehicles, and retirement accounts don't count.
Wyoming SNAP Income Limits
This estimate uses Wyoming's current gross and net income tests. Households with a member age 60 or older or with a disability skip the gross income test but must still meet the net income test.
| Household size | Gross monthly limit | Net monthly limit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,696 | $1,305 |
| 2 | $2,292 | $1,763 |
| 3 | $2,888 | $2,221 |
| 4 | $3,483 | $2,680 |
| 5 | $4,079 | $3,138 |
| 6 | $4,675 | $3,596 |
| 7 | $5,271 | $4,055 |
| 8 | $5,867 | $4,513 |
Each household member beyond 8 adds $596 to the gross limit and $459 to the net limit.
Wyoming SNAP Deductions
This estimate applies the standard federal deductions used to calculate net income: a standard deduction based on household size, a 20% deduction on earned income, and a deduction for excess shelter costs, uncapped for households with a member age 60 or older or with a disability. Verified medical costs above $35 a month are deducted for those same households.
| Household size | Standard deduction |
|---|---|
| Household size up to 3 | $209 |
| Household size up to 4 | $223 |
| Household size up to 5 | $261 |
| Household size 6 or more | $299 |
- Excess shelter deduction cap: $744 a month, unless the household has an elderly or disabled member.
- Homeless standard deduction: $199 a month.
- Medical deduction: verified expenses over $35 up to $35 use a flat $0 deduction, for elderly or disabled household members only.

Frequently Asked Questions About SNAP in Wyoming
Is this an official Wyoming SNAP eligibility determination?
No. This calculator provides a practical estimate based on current federal SNAP rules and Wyoming's general categorical eligibility policy. Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) makes the final eligibility and benefit determination for your household.
Does Wyoming have an asset (resource) limit for SNAP?
Yes. Wyoming has not adopted Broad Based Categorical Eligibility, so the standard federal resource limits apply: $3,000, or $4,500 if a household member is age 60 or older or has a disability.
What utility allowances does Wyoming use?
Wyoming publishes utility allowances, but current dollar amounts for this calculator have not yet been confirmed. You can still get a complete estimate -- it just will not include a specific utility allowance, so your actual benefit may be somewhat higher than shown.
How is my Wyoming SNAP benefit estimated?
This calculator subtracts 30% of your estimated net monthly income, rounded up to the next dollar, from the maximum monthly allotment for your household size.
