What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $60,880, ranking 8 of 47 states and sitting about 7.66% above the national middle.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 202 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $60,880 you keep $51,097 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $56,245 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $60,740.
- Wyoming's median for farm equipment mechanics and service technicians is $60,880, about 7.66% above the national figure and 8 of 47 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Farm equipment mechanics and service technicians ranks 202 of 433 occupations in Wyoming by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $51,097 after the full tax stack, from $60,880. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,245 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $60,740 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of farm equipment mechanics and service technicians in Wyoming earn under $60,880 and half over. The published range runs $38,650 at the tenth percentile to $82,020 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $51,097, worked from $60,880. 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 202 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,245, the adjusted value of that $60,880 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 202 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for farm equipment mechanics and service technicians in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $38,650 to $82,020; 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.
- The Wyoming take-home of $51,097, on $60,880 for work ranking 202 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 202 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $56,245 — the adjusted value of that $60,880 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 202 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $38,650 at the bottom tenth to $82,020 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $56,245 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $51,097 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 47 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,650 to $82,020) 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 $56,245 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 $51,097 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 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
