What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for athletic trainers. The median is $63,190, ranking 18 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 166.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $63,190 you keep $52,953 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $58,288 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $63,320, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for athletic trainers: a median of $63,190, ranking 18 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, athletic trainers sits at 166 of 433 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $52,953 after the full tax stack, from $63,190. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $58,288 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $63,320 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $63,190 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $48,360 and the ninetieth is $82,570 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $52,953 take-home in Wyoming comes from $63,190. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 166 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $58,288, the adjusted value of that $63,190 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 166 of 433 in the state.
- The Wyoming median of $63,190 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $48,360 to $82,570. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $52,953, from $63,190, assumes a single Wyoming filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 166 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $58,288 — the adjusted value of that $63,190 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 166 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $48,360 and the top tenth $82,570, so most people doing this work in Wyoming sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Wyoming is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $58,288 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $52,953 of this wage reaches your account, because Wyoming takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($48,360 to $82,570) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Wyoming rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Wyoming's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $58,288 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Wyoming levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $52,953 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
