What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays physical therapists around $100,400 at the midpoint, 30 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 433 occupations Wyoming reports, physical therapists comes in at 45 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $100,400 you keep $79,461, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $87,466 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $99,480, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For physical therapists the Wyoming median is $100,400, ranking 30 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Physical therapists ranks 45 of 433 occupations by median in Wyoming, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for physical therapists on $100,400 is $79,461. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $87,466 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 $99,480 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of physical therapists in Wyoming earn under $100,400 and half over. The published range runs $75,900 at the tenth percentile to $125,930 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $79,461, from $100,400, 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 45 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $87,466, the adjusted value of that $100,400 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 45 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for physical therapists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $75,900 to $125,930; 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 $79,461 from $100,400. 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 45 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $87,466 — the adjusted value of that $100,400 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 45 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $75,900 at the bottom tenth to $125,930 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $87,466 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $79,461 of this wage reaches your account, because Wyoming takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($75,900 to $125,930) 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 $87,466 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 $79,461 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.
