What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $46,870. That is 36 of 49 states, and about 4.79% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 301 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $46,870 the take-home is $39,840; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $43,854 would nationally. The average lands at $45,740, below the middle of the range.
- For insurance claims and policy processing clerks, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $46,870, ranking 36 of 49 and trailing the national median by about 4.79%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 301 of 433 in Wyoming places insurance claims and policy processing clerks in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Post-tax income for insurance claims and policy processing clerks in Wyoming, on $46,870, is $39,840 — equivalent to $43,854 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 $45,740 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of insurance claims and policy processing clerks in Wyoming earn under $46,870 and half over. The published range runs $34,620 at the tenth percentile to $57,440 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $39,840, from $46,870, 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 301 of 433 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $43,854, the adjusted value of that $46,870 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 301 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for insurance claims and policy processing clerks in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $34,620 to $57,440; 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 $39,840 from $46,870. 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 301 of 433 locally.
- This $43,854 adjusted figure, worked from $46,870, 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 301 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 301 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $34,620 at the bottom tenth to $57,440 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 $43,854 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $39,840 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 49 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($34,620 to $57,440) 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 $43,854 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 $39,840 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
