What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for tutors is strong here. Wyoming's middle earner gets $82,290, putting the state 1 of 50 — about 89.83% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, tutors ranks 89 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $82,290 you keep $66,721, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $73,442 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $76,570, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For tutors, Wyoming sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $82,290, ranking 1 of 50 and running about 89.83% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, tutors sits 89 of 433 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for tutors on $82,290 is $66,721. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $73,442 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 $76,570 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of tutors in Wyoming earn under $82,290 and half over. The published range runs $30,500 at the tenth percentile to $125,610 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $66,721 take-home in Wyoming comes from $82,290. 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 89 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $73,442, the adjusted value of that $82,290 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 89 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for tutors in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $30,500 to $125,610; 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.
- Retained pay of $66,721, from $82,290, 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 89 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 1 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $73,442 — the adjusted value of that $82,290 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 89 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $76,570 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $30,500 and the top tenth $125,610 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $73,442.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $66,721 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.
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 $76,570. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($30,500) and the ninetieth ($125,610) 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 $73,442 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 $66,721 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.
