What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays new accounts clerks a middle wage of $45,760, 31 of 45 states and about 4.01% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. New accounts clerks ranks 317 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $45,760 you keep $38,948 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $42,872 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $45,010.
- Wyoming's $45,760 median for new accounts clerks places it 31 of 45 states, about 4.01% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Position 317 of 433 in Wyoming places new accounts 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $38,948 after the full tax stack, from $45,760. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $42,872 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $45,010 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of new accounts clerks in Wyoming earn under $45,760 and half over. The published range runs $37,440 at the tenth percentile to $49,730 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $38,948, worked from $45,760. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 317 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $42,872, the adjusted value of that $45,760 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 317 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for new accounts clerks in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,440 to $49,730; 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.
- The Wyoming take-home of $38,948, on $45,760 for work ranking 317 of 433 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 317 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $42,872 — the adjusted value of that $45,760 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 317 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,440 at the bottom tenth to $49,730 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 $42,872 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $38,948 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 45 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,440 to $49,730) 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 $42,872 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 $38,948 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
