What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays procurement clerks around $50,380 at the midpoint, 27 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Procurement clerks ranks 262 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $50,380 you keep $42,660, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $46,958 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $55,090, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For procurement clerks the Wyoming median is $50,380, ranking 27 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.
- Position 262 of 433 in Wyoming places procurement clerks 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for procurement clerks on $50,380 is $42,660. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $46,958 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 $55,090 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $50,380. The published range is $40,780 up to $70,080, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $42,660 take-home in Wyoming comes from $50,380. 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 262 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $46,958, the adjusted value of that $50,380 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 262 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for procurement clerks in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $40,780 to $70,080. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $42,660, from $50,380, 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 262 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 27 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $46,958 — the adjusted value of that $50,380 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 262 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 $55,090 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $40,780 at the bottom tenth to $70,080 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 $46,958.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $42,660 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like 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 $55,090. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($40,780 to $70,080) 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 $46,958 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 $42,660 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.
