What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for paramedics is strong here. Wyoming's middle earner gets $64,040, putting the state 16 of 51 — about 5.68% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Paramedics ranks 157 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $64,040 the take-home is $53,636; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $59,039 would nationally. The average lands at $63,920, below the middle of the range.
- For paramedics, Wyoming sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $64,040, ranking 16 of 51 and running about 5.68% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 157 of 433 in Wyoming places paramedics 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 paramedics in Wyoming, on $64,040, is $53,636 — equivalent to $59,039 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 $63,920 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of paramedics in Wyoming earn under $64,040 and half over. The published range runs $47,520 at the tenth percentile to $80,070 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 $53,636, worked from $64,040. 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 157 of 433.
- Two cautions on $59,039, the adjusted value of that $64,040 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 157 of 433 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for paramedics in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $47,520 to $80,070; 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 $53,636, on $64,040 for work ranking 157 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 157 of 433 in the state.
- This $59,039 adjusted figure, worked from $64,040, 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 157 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 157 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $47,520 at the bottom tenth to $80,070 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $59,039.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $53,636 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?
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 ($47,520 to $80,070) 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 $59,039 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 $53,636 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.
