What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $33,300. That is 45 of 45 states, and about 36.69% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against 433 occupations Wyoming publishes, this job lands at 404. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $33,300 you keep $28,937, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $31,852 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $36,100, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For audiovisual equipment installers and repairers, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $33,300, ranking 45 of 45 and trailing the national median by about 36.69%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Wyoming, this work ranks 404 of 433 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for audiovisual equipment installers and repairers on $33,300 is $28,937. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $31,852 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $36,100 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of audiovisual equipment installers and repairers in Wyoming earn under $33,300 and half over. The published range runs $33,300 at the tenth percentile to $45,600 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $28,937, from $33,300, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 404 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $31,852, the adjusted value of that $33,300 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 404 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for audiovisual equipment installers and repairers in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $33,300 to $45,600; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $28,937 from $33,300. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 404 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $31,852 — the adjusted value of that $33,300 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 404 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $36,100, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $33,300 at the bottom tenth to $45,600 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $31,852 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $28,937 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 45 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Wyoming is $36,100. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($33,300 to $45,600) 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 $31,852 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 $28,937 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
