What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for family medicine physicians. The median is $264,580, ranking 21 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, family medicine physicians ranks 2 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $264,580 you keep $192,754, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $212,172 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $278,070, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for family medicine physicians: a median of $264,580, ranking 21 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, family medicine physicians sits 2 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for family medicine physicians on $264,580 is $192,754. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $212,172 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 $278,070 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of family medicine physicians in Wyoming earn under $264,580 and half over. The published range runs $224,970 at the tenth percentile to $358,840 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $192,754 take-home in Wyoming comes from $264,580. 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 2 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $212,172, the adjusted value of that $264,580 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 2 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for family medicine physicians in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $224,970 to $358,840; 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 $192,754, from $264,580, 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 2 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 21 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $212,172 — the adjusted value of that $264,580 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 2 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 $278,070 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $224,970 at the bottom tenth to $358,840 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $212,172 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $192,754 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like 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 $278,070. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($224,970 to $358,840) 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 $212,172 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 $192,754 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.
