What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for financial risk specialists is strong here. Wyoming's middle earner gets $119,550, putting the state 12 of 50 — about 1.89% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, financial risk specialists ranks 21 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $119,550 the take-home is $92,933; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $102,296 would nationally. The average lands at $114,690, below the middle of the range.
- For financial risk specialists, Wyoming sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $119,550, ranking 12 of 50 and running about 1.89% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, financial risk specialists sits 21 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.
- Post-tax income for financial risk specialists in Wyoming, on $119,550, is $92,933 — equivalent to $102,296 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $114,690 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of financial risk specialists in Wyoming earn under $119,550 and half over. The published range runs $101,370 at the tenth percentile to $119,550 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 $92,933, worked from $119,550. 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 21 of 433.
- Two cautions on $102,296, the adjusted value of that $119,550 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 21 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for financial risk specialists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $101,370 to $119,550; 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 $92,933, on $119,550 for work ranking 21 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 21 of 433 in the state.
- This $102,296 adjusted figure, worked from $119,550, 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 21 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 21 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 $114,690, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $101,370 and the top tenth $119,550, so most people doing this work in Wyoming sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $102,296 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $92,933 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?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 $114,690. 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 ($101,370 to $119,550) 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 $102,296 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 $92,933 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.
