What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $45,970, ranking 36 of 45 states — about 3.49% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 314 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $45,970 you keep $39,117, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $43,058 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $48,830, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 36 of 45 for automotive glass installers and repairers, with a median of $45,970 — about 3.49% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Automotive glass installers and repairers ranks 314 of 433 occupations in Wyoming by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for automotive glass installers and repairers on $45,970 is $39,117. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $43,058 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 $48,830 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $45,970 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $34,650 and the ninetieth is $65,110 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $39,117 take-home in Wyoming comes from $45,970. 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 314 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $43,058 uses one figure for the whole of Wyoming. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 433 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 314.
- The Wyoming median of $45,970 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $34,650 to $65,110. 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 $39,117, from $45,970, 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 314 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 36 of 45 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $43,058, worked from $45,970, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Wyoming address, on work sitting at 314 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 $48,830, 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?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $34,650 at the tenth percentile, $65,110 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $43,058.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $39,117 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 $48,830. 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 ($34,650 to $65,110) 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 $43,058 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 $39,117 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.
