What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for lodging managers is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $61,190. That is 42 of 51 states, and about 11.64% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Lodging managers ranks 195 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $61,190 the take-home is $51,346; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $56,519 would nationally. The average comes to $71,140, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For lodging managers, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $61,190, ranking 42 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 11.64%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 195 of 433 in Wyoming places lodging managers 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 lodging managers in Wyoming, on $61,190, is $51,346 — equivalent to $56,519 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 $71,140 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $61,190 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $45,800 and the ninetieth is $106,790 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $51,346, from $61,190, 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 195 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 $56,519 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 195.
- The Wyoming median of $61,190 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $45,800 to $106,790. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $51,346 from $61,190. 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 195 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,519, worked from $61,190, 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 195 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $71,140 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $45,800 and the top tenth $106,790 — 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 $56,519 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $51,346 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 $71,140. 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 ($45,800) and the ninetieth ($106,790) 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 $56,519 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 $51,346 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.
