What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 20 of 51 states for loan officers, with a middle wage of $79,620. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Wyoming. It ranks 101 out of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $79,620 the take-home is $64,843; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $71,375 would nationally. The average comes to $87,930, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming ranks 20 of 51 for loan officers at $79,620. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Within Wyoming, loan officers ranks 101 of 433 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Post-tax income for loan officers in Wyoming, on $79,620, is $64,843 — equivalent to $71,375 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 $87,930 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $79,620. The published range is $47,410 up to $132,810, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $64,843 take-home in Wyoming comes from $79,620. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 101 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $71,375 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 101.
- Reported values are medians; for loan officers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $47,410 to $132,810. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $64,843, from $79,620, assumes a single Wyoming filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 101 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 20 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $71,375, worked from $79,620, 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 101 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 $87,930, 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?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $47,410, the highest tenth $132,810, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $71,375 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $64,843 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $87,930. 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 ($47,410) and the ninetieth ($132,810) 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 $71,375 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 $64,843 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.
