What affects nurse pay in Wyoming

Pay slightly below the national median. Within Wyoming, pay is shaped by the metro labor market, the mix of hospitals vs long-term care and clinics, union presence, shift differentials, and how short-staffed local employers are. Advanced-practice roles (NP, CRNA) and critical-care specialties command the highest pay. Use the calculator to estimate your own.

Take-home note. Wyoming levies no state income tax on wages, so a nurse's take-home pay stretches further than the gross figures above suggest compared with a high-tax state. Note this affects net pay, not the gross wage shown here.
How this estimate was calculated

The Wyoming figure adjusts the national RN average of $93,600 for local pay levels — a factor of 0.95× (about 5% below the U.S. average). It is a starting point — not an official Wyoming wage — until verified local figures and nurse submissions are loaded.

Local pay can vary well beyond this by specialty, shift, union status, employer type, overtime, and care setting. When official state wage data is loaded, this number updates to a verified value automatically.
