Setting, years of experience, and city all play a part in where an individual NP lands within that range.

Wyoming's typical NP pay has climbed from $96,540 in 2015 to $132,200 in 2025, a gain of $35,660. That's a 37% rise over the decade, reflected in the latest government wage data. Pay growth wasn't perfectly steady each year, but the ten-year trend points clearly upward.

Nationally, NP pay rose 35% over the same decade, so Wyoming's gain outpaced the national rise by two points. For someone starting a nurse practitioner career in Wyoming now, that decade of pay growth is history rather than a promise, but it shows the direction pay has moved in the state. Local pay decisions still depend on setting, city, and experience.

Cheyenne pays nurse practitioners the most in Wyoming, with typical pay of $134,890 a year ($64.85 an hour), about 2% above the state figure of $132,200. This figure covers the full Cheyenne metro area, not just the city itself. Wyoming has just two metro areas with published nurse practitioner pay data, so this comparison covers the whole state.

Casper pays less, with typical NP pay of $121,810 a year ($58.56 an hour), leaving a spread of $13,080 between the two cities. Cheyenne also holds the state's largest nurse practitioner workforce, with about 110 employed there compared with 80 in Casper. Higher pay in Cheyenne tends to track its higher cost of living relative to the rest of Wyoming.

Colorado ($132,930), Idaho ($132,540), and Nebraska ($132,130) all sit within a percentage point of Wyoming's $132,200. Utah pays slightly less, at $130,920, and South Dakota pays the least, at $128,840, about 3% below Wyoming.
