What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $58,450, ranking 25 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 221 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $58,450 the take-home is $49,145; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $54,095 would nationally. The average comes to $59,520, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for cement masons and concrete finishers: a median of $58,450, ranking 25 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Cement masons and concrete finishers ranks 221 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.
- Post-tax income for cement masons and concrete finishers in Wyoming, on $58,450, is $49,145 — equivalent to $54,095 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $59,520 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $58,450. The published range is $46,570 up to $73,860, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $49,145, from $58,450, 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 221 of 433 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $54,095, the adjusted value of that $58,450 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 221 of 433 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for cement masons and concrete finishers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $46,570 to $73,860. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $49,145 from $58,450. 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 221 of 433 locally.
- This $54,095 adjusted figure, worked from $58,450, 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 221 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 221 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $46,570 at the bottom tenth to $73,860 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $54,095 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $49,145 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($46,570 to $73,860) 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 $54,095 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 $49,145 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.
