What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $187,090, which ranks 1 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 82.1% above the national middle.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 3 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $187,090 you keep $139,303, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $153,336 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $195,710, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 1 of 51 states publishing a median for financial and investment analysts, at $187,090 — about 82.1% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, financial and investment analysts sits 3 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 financial and investment analysts on $187,090 is $139,303. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $153,336 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 $195,710 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of financial and investment analysts in Wyoming earn under $187,090 and half over. The published range runs $64,860 at the tenth percentile to $347,540 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 $139,303, worked from $187,090. 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 3 of 433.
- Two cautions on $153,336, the adjusted value of that $187,090 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 3 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for financial and investment analysts in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $64,860 to $347,540; 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 $139,303, on $187,090 for work ranking 3 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 3 of 433 in the state.
- This $153,336 adjusted figure, worked from $187,090, 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 3 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 3 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $195,710, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $64,860 at the bottom tenth to $347,540 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $153,336 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $139,303 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?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $195,710. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($64,860) and the ninetieth ($347,540) 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 $153,336 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 $139,303 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.
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.
