What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $95,910, ranking 44 of 50 states — about 26.35% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 433 occupations Wyoming reports, this job comes in at 56 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $95,910 you keep $76,303 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $83,989 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $95,230.
- Wyoming ranks 44 of 50 for electronics engineers, except computer, with a median of $95,910 — about 26.35% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Electronics engineers, except computer ranks 56 of 433 occupations by median in Wyoming, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $76,303 after the full tax stack, from $95,910. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $83,989 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $95,230 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $95,910 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $62,240 and the ninetieth is $125,050 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $76,303 take-home in Wyoming comes from $95,910. 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 56 of 433.
- Two cautions on $83,989, the adjusted value of that $95,910 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 56 of 433 locally.
- The Wyoming median of $95,910 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $62,240 to $125,050. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $76,303, from $95,910, 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 56 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 44 of 50 for it.
- This $83,989 adjusted figure, worked from $95,910, 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 56 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 56 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $62,240 and the top tenth $125,050, so most people doing this work in Wyoming sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $83,989 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $76,303 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. 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 ($62,240 to $125,050) 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 $83,989 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 $76,303 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.
