What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays landscaping and groundskeeping workers around $38,310 at the midpoint, 32 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against 433 occupations Wyoming publishes, landscaping and groundskeeping workers lands at 368. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $38,310 you keep $32,962 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $36,283 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $39,140, since top earners drag the number up.
- For landscaping and groundskeeping workers the Wyoming median is $38,310, ranking 32 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Within Wyoming, this work ranks 368 of 433 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $32,962 after the full tax stack, from $38,310. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $36,283 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $39,140 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $38,310. The published range is $29,760 up to $47,270, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $32,962, from $38,310, 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 368 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $36,283, the adjusted value of that $38,310 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 368 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for landscaping and groundskeeping workers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $29,760 to $47,270. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $32,962 from $38,310. 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 368 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $36,283 — the adjusted value of that $38,310 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 368 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $29,760 at the bottom tenth to $47,270 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 $36,283 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $32,962 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?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($29,760 to $47,270) 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 $36,283 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 $32,962 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.
