What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays bill and account collectors a middle wage of $42,110, 44 of 51 states and about 10.46% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Wyoming this is lower-paid work. Of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, bill and account collectors ranks 343. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $42,110 you keep $36,015, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $39,644 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $42,960, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming's $42,110 median for bill and account collectors places it 44 of 51 states, about 10.46% 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.
- Against every occupation Wyoming reports, bill and account collectors ranks 343 of 433, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for bill and account collectors on $42,110 is $36,015. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $39,644 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 $42,960 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of bill and account collectors in Wyoming earn under $42,110 and half over. The published range runs $37,430 at the tenth percentile to $52,940 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $36,015, from $42,110, 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 343 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 $39,644, the adjusted value of that $42,110 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 343 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for bill and account collectors in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,430 to $52,940; 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 $36,015 from $42,110. 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 343 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $39,644 — the adjusted value of that $42,110 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 343 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,430 at the bottom tenth to $52,940 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Wyoming sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $39,644 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $36,015 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.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,430 to $52,940) 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 $39,644 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 $36,015 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.
