What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays this job around $46,380 at the midpoint, 32 of 49 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 309 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 $46,380 you keep $39,446, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $43,420 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $46,820, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For cabinetmakers and bench carpenters the Wyoming median is $46,380, ranking 32 of 49 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Cabinetmakers and bench carpenters ranks 309 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 cabinetmakers and bench carpenters on $46,380 is $39,446. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $43,420 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 $46,820 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of cabinetmakers and bench carpenters in Wyoming earn under $46,380 and half over. The published range runs $35,230 at the tenth percentile to $58,240 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $39,446 take-home in Wyoming comes from $46,380. 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 309 of 433.
- Two cautions on $43,420, the adjusted value of that $46,380 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 309 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for cabinetmakers and bench carpenters in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,230 to $58,240; 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.
- Retained pay of $39,446, from $46,380, 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 309 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 32 of 49 for it.
- This $43,420 adjusted figure, worked from $46,380, 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 309 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 309 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $35,230 at the tenth percentile, $58,240 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 $43,420.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $39,446 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 49 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,230 to $58,240) 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 $43,420 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 $39,446 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
