What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for shuttle drivers and chauffeurs is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $33,540. That is 39 of 51 states, and about 10.06% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.

- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $33,540 the take-home is $29,129; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $32,064 would nationally. The average comes to $34,410, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For shuttle drivers and chauffeurs, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $33,540, ranking 39 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 10.06%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Wyoming, this work ranks 403 of 433 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- Post-tax income for shuttle drivers and chauffeurs in Wyoming, on $33,540, is $29,129 — equivalent to $32,064 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $34,410 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $33,540. The published range is $25,450 up to $44,680, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $29,129 take-home in Wyoming comes from $33,540. 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 403 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $32,064, the adjusted value of that $33,540 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 403 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for shuttle drivers and chauffeurs in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $25,450 to $44,680. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $29,129, from $33,540, 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 403 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 39 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $32,064 — the adjusted value of that $33,540 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 403 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $25,450 at the tenth percentile, $44,680 at the ninetieth.
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 $32,064 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $29,129 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?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($25,450 to $44,680) 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 $32,064 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 $29,129 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.
