What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Wyoming's middle earner gets $65,100, putting the state 8 of 51 — about 5.24% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 151 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $65,100 the take-home is $54,488; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $59,977 would nationally. The average lands at $64,450, below the middle of the range.
- For computer user support specialists, Wyoming sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $65,100, ranking 8 of 51 and running about 5.24% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 151 of 433 in Wyoming places computer user support specialists 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.
- Post-tax income for computer user support specialists in Wyoming, on $65,100, is $54,488 — equivalent to $59,977 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 $64,450 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of computer user support specialists in Wyoming earn under $65,100 and half over. The published range runs $39,640 at the tenth percentile to $89,440 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $54,488, from $65,100, 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 151 of 433 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $59,977 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 151.
- Figures are distribution medians for computer user support specialists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $39,640 to $89,440; 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.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $54,488 from $65,100. 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 151 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $59,977, worked from $65,100, 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 151 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $39,640 and the top tenth $89,440 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $59,977 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $54,488 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($39,640) and the ninetieth ($89,440) 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 $59,977 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 $54,488 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.
