What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $94,520. That is 39 of 51 states, and about 18.92% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 58 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $94,520 the take-home is $75,325; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $82,913 would nationally. The average comes to $100,900, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For computer occupations, all other, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $94,520, ranking 39 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 18.92%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, computer occupations, all other sits 58 of 433 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Post-tax income for computer occupations, all other in Wyoming, on $94,520, is $75,325 — equivalent to $82,913 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 $100,900 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $94,520. The published range is $56,830 up to $157,190, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $75,325, worked from $94,520. 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 58 of 433.
- Two cautions on $82,913, the adjusted value of that $94,520 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 58 of 433 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for computer occupations, all other in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $56,830 to $157,190. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Wyoming take-home of $75,325, on $94,520 for work ranking 58 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 58 of 433 in the state.
- This $82,913 adjusted figure, worked from $94,520, 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 58 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 58 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $100,900 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $56,830 and the top tenth $157,190 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $82,913 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $75,325 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $100,900. 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 ($56,830) and the ninetieth ($157,190) 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 $82,913 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 $75,325 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.
