Mission:
To invest in the economic self-sufficiency of women and opportunities for girls in Wyoming.
What is the Self-Sufficiency Standard?
The Self-Sufficiency Standard calculates how much income families of various sizes and compositions need to make ends meet at a minimally adequate level without public or private assistance.
- The Wyoming Self-Sufficiency Standard (2020) is available HERE.
- The Key Findings from the 2020 Wyoming Self-Sufficiency Standard can be found HERE.
Use the Self-Sufficiency Calculator
What does it take to be self-sufficient? Enter your County and Family Composition into the Self-Sufficiency Calculator to find out.
Use the Self-Sufficiency Calculator to determine how much income is required to meet basic needs, with the amount varying by family composition and geographic location.
This tool can be used in a variety of ways—by clients of workforce and training programs seeking paths to self-sufficiency, by program managers to evaluate program effectiveness, and by policymakers and legislators seeking to create programs and pathways that lead to self-sufficiency for working families.
