What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 27 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $61,780. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 191.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $61,780 you keep $51,820, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $57,041 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $64,390, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 27 of 50 for tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents at $61,780. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents sits at 191 of 433 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents on $61,780 is $51,820. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $57,041 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 $64,390 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents in Wyoming earn under $61,780 and half over. The published range runs $51,540 at the tenth percentile to $79,440 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $51,820, from $61,780, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 191 of 433 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $57,041 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 191.
- Figures are distribution medians for tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $51,540 to $79,440; 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.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $51,820 from $61,780. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 191 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $57,041, worked from $61,780, 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 191 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 $64,390, 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 — $51,540 at the tenth percentile, $79,440 at the ninetieth.
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 $57,041 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $51,820 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 $64,390. 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 ($51,540 to $79,440) 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 $57,041 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 $51,820 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.
