What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $33,890. That is 41 of 51 states, and about 5.41% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against 433 occupations Wyoming publishes, this job lands at 402. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $33,890 you keep $29,411, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $32,373 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $34,490, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For cleaners of vehicles and equipment, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $33,890, ranking 41 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 5.41%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Wyoming, this work ranks 402 of 433 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for cleaners of vehicles and equipment on $33,890 is $29,411. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $32,373 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 $34,490 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of cleaners of vehicles and equipment in Wyoming earn under $33,890 and half over. The published range runs $27,340 at the tenth percentile to $42,600 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 $29,411, worked from $33,890. 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 402 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $32,373, the adjusted value of that $33,890 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 402 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for cleaners of vehicles and equipment in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $27,340 to $42,600; 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 $29,411, on $33,890 for work ranking 402 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 402 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $32,373 — the adjusted value of that $33,890 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 402 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $27,340 at the bottom tenth to $42,600 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $32,373.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $29,411 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($27,340 to $42,600) 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 $32,373 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 $29,411 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.
