What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for purchasing managers. The middle earner takes $123,380, ranking 43 of 50 states — about 16.68% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Wyoming. It ranks 16 out of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $123,380 you keep $95,596 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $105,227 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $128,990, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming ranks 43 of 50 for purchasing managers, with a median of $123,380 — about 16.68% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Within Wyoming, purchasing managers ranks 16 of 433 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $95,596 after the full tax stack, from $123,380. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $105,227 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $128,990 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $123,380. The published range is $87,530 up to $170,820, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $95,596 take-home in Wyoming comes from $123,380. 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 16 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $105,227 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 16.
- Reported values are medians; for purchasing managers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $87,530 to $170,820. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $95,596, from $123,380, 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 16 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 43 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $105,227, worked from $123,380, 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 16 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $128,990, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $87,530 at the tenth percentile, $170,820 at the ninetieth.
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 $105,227.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $95,596 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?
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.
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 $128,990. 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 ($87,530 to $170,820) 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 $105,227 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 $95,596 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.
