What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $87,460, ranking 11 of 51 states and sitting about 9.52% above the national middle.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 75 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $87,460 you keep $70,358 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $77,446 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $90,870, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming's median for first-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers is $87,460, about 9.52% above the national figure and 11 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, first-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers sits 75 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $70,358 after the full tax stack, from $87,460. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $77,446 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $90,870 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers in Wyoming earn under $87,460 and half over. The published range runs $57,290 at the tenth percentile to $135,120 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $70,358, from $87,460, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 75 of 433 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $77,446 uses one figure for the whole of Wyoming. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 433 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 75.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $57,290 to $135,120; 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.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $70,358 from $87,460. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 75 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $77,446, worked from $87,460, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Wyoming address, on work sitting at 75 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $90,870, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $57,290 and the top tenth $135,120 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $77,446 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $70,358 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 $90,870. 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 ($57,290) and the ninetieth ($135,120) 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 $77,446 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 $70,358 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.
