What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for pharmacy aides. The median is $37,030, ranking 24 of 48 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: 380 of 433 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $37,030 the take-home is $31,934; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $35,151 would nationally. The average lands at $36,350, below the middle of the range.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for pharmacy aides: a median of $37,030, ranking 24 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Pharmacy aides occupies position 380 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.
- Post-tax income for pharmacy aides in Wyoming, on $37,030, is $31,934 — equivalent to $35,151 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 $36,350 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of pharmacy aides in Wyoming earn under $37,030 and half over. The published range runs $28,270 at the tenth percentile to $41,120 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $31,934, from $37,030, 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 380 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 $35,151 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 380.
- Figures are distribution medians for pharmacy aides in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $28,270 to $41,120; 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.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $31,934 from $37,030. 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 380 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $35,151, worked from $37,030, 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 380 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $28,270 at the tenth percentile, $41,120 at the ninetieth.
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 $35,151 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $31,934 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($28,270 to $41,120) 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 $35,151 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 $31,934 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
