What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays tire repairers and changers a middle wage of $36,370, 35 of 50 states and about 3.55% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Wyoming this is lower-paid work. Of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, tire repairers and changers ranks 389. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $36,370 the take-home is $31,403; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $34,567 would nationally. The average comes to $37,900, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming's $36,370 median for tire repairers and changers places it 35 of 50 states, about 3.55% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Against every occupation Wyoming reports, tire repairers and changers ranks 389 of 433, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- Post-tax income for tire repairers and changers in Wyoming, on $36,370, is $31,403 — equivalent to $34,567 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 $37,900 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $36,370. The published range is $30,480 up to $47,190, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $31,403 take-home in Wyoming comes from $36,370. 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 389 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $34,567, the adjusted value of that $36,370 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 389 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for tire repairers and changers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $30,480 to $47,190. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $31,403, from $36,370, 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 389 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 35 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $34,567 — the adjusted value of that $36,370 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 389 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 $37,900, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $30,480 at the bottom tenth to $47,190 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $34,567 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $31,403 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 $37,900. 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 ($30,480 to $47,190) 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 $34,567 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 $31,403 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.
