Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $105,480. The published range is $85,510 up to $126,400, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $83,035 take-home in Wyoming comes from $105,480. 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 37 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $91,400, the adjusted value of that $105,480 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 37 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for education administrators, kindergarten through secondary in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $85,510 to $126,400. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $83,035, from $105,480, 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 37 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 25 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $91,400 — the adjusted value of that $105,480 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 37 of 433 locally.

What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($85,510 to $126,400) 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?

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.
