What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for billing and posting clerks. The middle earner takes $44,880, ranking 46 of 51 states — about 7.46% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Wyoming, this one sits low: 329 of 433 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $44,880 you keep $38,241, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $42,093 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $46,110, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 46 of 51 for billing and posting clerks, with a median of $44,880 — about 7.46% 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.
- Billing and posting clerks occupies position 329 of 433 in Wyoming's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for billing and posting clerks on $44,880 is $38,241. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $42,093 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 $46,110 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $44,880 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $33,750 and the ninetieth is $59,300 — 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 $38,241, worked from $44,880. 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 329 of 433.
- Two cautions on $42,093, the adjusted value of that $44,880 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 329 of 433 locally.
- The Wyoming median of $44,880 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $33,750 to $59,300. 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 $38,241, on $44,880 for work ranking 329 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 329 of 433 in the state.
- This $42,093 adjusted figure, worked from $44,880, 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 329 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 329 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $33,750 at the tenth percentile, $59,300 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 $42,093 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $38,241 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 ($33,750 to $59,300) 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 $42,093 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 $38,241 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.
