How Much Does an LPN Make in Wyoming in 2026?

A typical LPN in Wyoming earns about $30.51 per hour, or $63,460 per year, according to the latest government wage data (May 2025). Calculated from that annual figure, pay works out to roughly $5,288 a month and $1,220 a week. This is the typical figure for the occupation across the state, covering LPNs at all experience levels and work settings.

Wyoming pay runs about 1% below the national figure of $64,400 a year, a gap small enough that it barely separates the two. That places Wyoming 28th among the 51 states and D.C. for LPN pay. About 480 LPNs work in Wyoming, compared with 648,410 nationwide, a small workforce reflecting the state's overall population.

Entry-level positions in Wyoming typically offer around $22.45 an hour, or about $46,700 a year, for LPNs just starting out. Pay tends to move up from there fairly quickly, and within a few years many LPNs reach the state's typical figure of $30.51 an hour. Where that increase happens fastest often depends on the setting and the size of the local market.

Experienced LPNs in Wyoming often earn upwards of $34.06 an hour, or around $70,840 a year, and the top 10% of earners make over $37.02 an hour, or $77,000 a year. That leaves a spread of $30,300 between entry-level and top-tier pay. Setting, years on the job, and which city an LPN works in all factor into where someone lands within that range.

Wyoming LPN pay has climbed steadily over the past decade. Typical pay rose from $44,380 in 2015 to $63,460 in 2025, a gain of $19,080, or 43%, according to government wage data going back to the first year on record.

That 43% rise trails the national increase of 49% over the same span, meaning Wyoming pay grew but slightly less than the country as a whole. For someone starting an LPN career in Wyoming now, pay has moved up steadily over the past ten years, though nothing about future pay is guaranteed.

Pay for LPNs in Wyoming is fairly uniform across the state, with only a modest gap between its two largest metro areas. Cheyenne pays the most, with LPNs there earning $64,800 a year ($31.16 an hour), about 2% above the state figure of $63,460. Casper, the state's other major metro area, isn't far behind at $62,370 a year ($29.99 an hour).

Casper is the lower-paying of the two, and it's also home to the state's largest LPN workforce, with 90 workers compared with Cheyenne's 80. The gap between the two cities is just $2,430 a year, a difference that tracks local cost of living more than anything else. Each city figure reflects pay across its full metro area, not just the city center.

Among Wyoming's neighbors, Colorado pays the most, with LPNs there earning $73,880 a year, about 16% above Wyoming's figure. South Dakota pays the least, at $52,750 a year, about 17% below. Idaho ($63,800), Utah ($63,230), Nebraska ($62,660), and Montana ($62,210) all sit close to Wyoming's own figure. LPN licensure can often be transferred or endorsed into a nearby state, which makes comparing pay across state lines a practical exercise for someone weighing a move.

LPNs in Wyoming typically earn $63,460 a year, a figure that has grown 43% over the past decade. Pay varies little across the state's two largest metro areas, though nearby states like Colorado pay noticeably more.
