What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $61,780. That is 41 of 48 states, and about 18.95% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 192.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $61,780 you keep $51,820, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $57,041 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $69,620, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For computer network support specialists, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $61,780, ranking 41 of 48 and trailing the national median by about 18.95%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, computer network support specialists sits at 192 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for computer network support specialists on $61,780 is $51,820. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $57,041 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 $69,620 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of computer network support specialists in Wyoming earn under $61,780 and half over. The published range runs $42,900 at the tenth percentile to $92,960 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $51,820 take-home in Wyoming comes from $61,780. 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 192 of 433.
- Two cautions on $57,041, the adjusted value of that $61,780 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 192 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for computer network support specialists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $42,900 to $92,960; 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 $51,820, from $61,780, 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 192 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 41 of 48 for it.
- This $57,041 adjusted figure, worked from $61,780, 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 192 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 192 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 $69,620, 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?
The label is broader than the work. From $42,900 at the bottom tenth to $92,960 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $57,041 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $51,820 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. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 $69,620. 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 ($42,900) and the ninetieth ($92,960) 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 $57,041 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 $51,820 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
