What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays clergy around $61,590 at the midpoint, 18 of 50 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Clergy ranks 193 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $61,590 you keep $51,668 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $56,873 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $61,240.
- For clergy the Wyoming median is $61,590, ranking 18 of 50 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.
- Position 193 of 433 in Wyoming places clergy in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $51,668 after the full tax stack, from $61,590. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,873 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $61,240 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $61,590. The published range is $40,910 up to $78,850, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $51,668, from $61,590, 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 193 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,873, the adjusted value of that $61,590 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 193 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for clergy in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $40,910 to $78,850. 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 $51,668 from $61,590. 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 193 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $56,873 — the adjusted value of that $61,590 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 193 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $40,910 at the tenth percentile, $78,850 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 $56,873 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $51,668 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 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 ($40,910 to $78,850) 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 $56,873 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 $51,668 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
