Frequently asked questions
- How much does a Real Estate Agent make in Wyoming?
- BLS reports a median annual wage of $43,040 for Real Estate Agents in Wyoming as of the latest OES release. That is the 50th-percentile figure — half earn more, half earn less. The 25th-percentile is $34,120 and the 75th-percentile is $73,930.
- What is the real (cost-adjusted) Real Estate Agent salary in Wyoming?
- After BEA RPP adjustment (regional price parity index 91.6 for Wyoming), the real-wage equivalent is $47,012 — what the $43,040 nominal salary actually buys. Quartiles in real terms: $37,269 to $80,753.
- What does the top of the Real Estate Agent pay scale look like in Wyoming?
- The 90th percentile lands at $94,310. That tier typically reflects senior roles, specialty certifications, high-cost-of-living metros within the state, or union-negotiated rate cards. Below that, the P75 quartile is $73,930.
- Where does Wyoming rank for Real Estate Agent pay?
- On nominal BLS wages alone, Wyoming ranks among the 51 states and DC by median pay. After the BEA cost-of-living adjustment the ordering changes — high-cost states fall, low-cost states rise. Both rankings are shown in the data table on this page.
- Should I negotiate based on the BLS median for Wyoming?
- The BLS median is a calibration anchor, not a ceiling. Use it to validate that an offer is in-band — anything well below the P25 in this state is a flag, anything above the P75 typically requires demonstrable specialty depth, niche credentials, or a high-COL metro within Wyoming.
- When does this data update?
- BLS OES releases a new May reference set roughly each spring; we re-run the ETL pipeline within two weeks of release. BEA RPP refreshes annually. The last-synced timestamp at the top of this page reflects the most recent build.
- Commission split, brokerage cap, and team-lead economics in Wyoming?
- Wyoming commission structures are typically 5-6% of sale price, split between buyer and seller side, then split again between brokerage and agent at ratios from 50/50 (entry-level) to 90/10 or 100% post-cap (senior agents at high-cap brokerages like Keller Williams or eXp). A Wyoming agent producing $5M in transaction volume at 2.5% gross side commission and a 70/30 post-cap split keeps roughly $87,500 — but must net out brokerage fees, MLS dues, E&O insurance, marketing, transaction coordinator fees, and self-employment tax. Realistic take-home is typically 50-65% of headline gross commission income. Team-lead and rainmaker agents extract a share of team-member production, which is the primary path to top-quartile earnings in Wyoming.
