What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for pest control workers. The median is $44,500, ranking 28 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Measured against other jobs in Wyoming, this one sits low: 332 of 433 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $44,500 you keep $37,936, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $41,757 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $45,570, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for pest control workers: a median of $44,500, ranking 28 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Pest control workers occupies position 332 of 433 in Wyoming's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for pest control workers on $44,500 is $37,936. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $41,757 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $45,570 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $44,500 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $29,380 and the ninetieth is $71,920 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $37,936 take-home in Wyoming comes from $44,500. 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 332 of 433.
- Two cautions on $41,757, the adjusted value of that $44,500 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 332 of 433 locally.
- The Wyoming median of $44,500 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $29,380 to $71,920. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $37,936, from $44,500, 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 332 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 28 of 50 for it.
- This $41,757 adjusted figure, worked from $44,500, 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 332 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 332 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $29,380, the highest tenth $71,920, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $41,757.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $37,936 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($29,380) and the ninetieth ($71,920) 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 $41,757 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 $37,936 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
