What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 33 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $60,860. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 203 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $60,860 you keep $51,081 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $56,227 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $60,460.
- Wyoming ranks 33 of 50 for property appraisers and assessors at $60,860. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 203 of 433 in Wyoming places property appraisers and assessors 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $51,081 after the full tax stack, from $60,860. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,227 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $60,460 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $60,860 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $39,150 and the ninetieth is $83,480 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $51,081, worked from $60,860. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 203 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,227, the adjusted value of that $60,860 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 203 of 433 in the state.
- The Wyoming median of $60,860 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $39,150 to $83,480. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Wyoming take-home of $51,081, on $60,860 for work ranking 203 of 433 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 203 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $56,227 — the adjusted value of that $60,860 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 203 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $39,150 at the bottom tenth to $83,480 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $56,227 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $51,081 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.
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 ($39,150) and the ninetieth ($83,480) 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 $56,227 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 $51,081 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.
