What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for physicians, all other is strong here. Wyoming's middle earner gets $342,800, putting the state 12 of 50 — about 28.91% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, physicians, all other ranks 1 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $342,800 you keep $241,991 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $266,369 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $321,630.
- For physicians, all other, Wyoming sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $342,800, ranking 12 of 50 and running about 28.91% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, physicians, all other sits 1 of 433 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $241,991 after the full tax stack, from $342,800. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $266,369 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $321,630 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 physicians, all other in Wyoming earn under $342,800 and half over. The published range runs $156,000 at the tenth percentile to $466,750 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $241,991 take-home in Wyoming comes from $342,800. 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 1 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $266,369 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 1.
- Figures are distribution medians for physicians, all other in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $156,000 to $466,750; 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.
- Retained pay of $241,991, from $342,800, 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 1 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 12 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $266,369, worked from $342,800, 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 1 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $321,630 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $156,000 and the top tenth $466,750 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $266,369 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $241,991 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. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Wyoming is $321,630. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($156,000) and the ninetieth ($466,750) 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 $266,369 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 $241,991 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.
