What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 30 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $76,400. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 113.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $76,400 the take-home is $62,577; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $68,881 would nationally. The average comes to $80,430, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming ranks 30 of 51 for claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators at $76,400. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators sits at 113 of 433 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Post-tax income for claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators in Wyoming, on $76,400, is $62,577 — equivalent to $68,881 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 $80,430 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators in Wyoming earn under $76,400 and half over. The published range runs $48,790 at the tenth percentile to $126,440 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $62,577, worked from $76,400. 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 113 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $68,881 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 113.
- Figures are distribution medians for claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $48,790 to $126,440; 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.
- The Wyoming take-home of $62,577, on $76,400 for work ranking 113 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 113 of 433 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $68,881, worked from $76,400, 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 113 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 $80,430, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $48,790, the highest tenth $126,440, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $68,881 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $62,577 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?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
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 $80,430. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($48,790) and the ninetieth ($126,440) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $68,881 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 $62,577 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.
