What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $49,200, 40 of 51 states and about 10.37% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 273 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $49,200 you keep $41,712 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $45,914 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $55,840, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming's $49,200 median for automotive body and related repairers places it 40 of 51 states, about 10.37% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Position 273 of 433 in Wyoming places automotive body and related repairers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $41,712 after the full tax stack, from $49,200. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $45,914 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $55,840 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $49,200 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $40,550 and the ninetieth is $70,140 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $41,712, worked from $49,200. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 273 of 433.
- Two cautions on $45,914, the adjusted value of that $49,200 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Wyoming. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 273 of 433 locally.
- The Wyoming median of $49,200 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $40,550 to $70,140. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Wyoming take-home of $41,712, on $49,200 for work ranking 273 of 433 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 273 of 433 in the state.
- This $45,914 adjusted figure, worked from $49,200, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 273 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 273 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $55,840, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $40,550 at the tenth percentile, $70,140 at the ninetieth.
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 $45,914 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $41,712 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $55,840. 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 ($40,550 to $70,140) 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 $45,914 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 $41,712 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
