How Much Does a Physical Therapist Make in Wyoming in 2026?

A typical Physical Therapist in Wyoming earns about $48.27 per hour, or $100,400 per year, according to the latest government wage data (May 2025). Based on that annual figure, pay works out to roughly $8,367 a month and $1,931 a week. These figures represent typical pay across the state, covering hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation settings alike. Actual paychecks vary by employer type and location within Wyoming.

That is about 2% below the national figure of $102,760 for Physical Therapists, placing Wyoming 30th among the 51 states and territories tracked. About 560 Physical Therapists work across the state, a modest workforce that keeps local pay data closely tied to just a handful of employers. Wyoming's lower figure compared to many higher-cost states often tracks its lower cost of living.

Entry-level positions in Wyoming typically offer around $36.49 per hour, or about $75,900 a year, according to the same May 2025 wage data. New Physical Therapists usually start near this figure and see pay move toward the state's typical $100,400 within a few years of experience. Clinical setting and caseload can speed or slow that climb. Most reach the typical figure once they've built a solid base of hands-on patient experience.

Experienced Physical Therapists in Wyoming often earn upwards of $117,000 a year. The top 10% of earners make over $125,930 a year, or about $60.55 an hour. That puts the gap between entry-level and top pay at $50,030 a year. Practice setting, years on the job, and which city a Physical Therapist works in all play into where someone falls along that range.

Wyoming's typical Physical Therapist pay climbed from $79,420 in 2015 to $100,400 in 2025, a gain of $20,980. That is a 26% rise over the decade, according to the government wage data tracked each year. The increase was not perfectly steady; pay dipped in a few years, including 2016 and 2021, before climbing again toward 2024 and 2025.

Nationally, Physical Therapist pay rose 22% over the same ten years, so Wyoming's climb outpaced the national trend by a few points. For someone starting a career now, that history shows pay has moved up over time, though it has not risen in a straight line every year. No specific future increase is guaranteed.

Cheyenne pays Physical Therapists the most among Wyoming's tracked metro areas, with a typical annual figure of $101,760 ($48.92 an hour). That sits about 1% above the statewide figure of $100,400. Casper is the only other metro area tracked in Wyoming, and pay there runs close behind rather than far apart.

Casper pays the least of the two, with a typical annual figure of $98,880 ($47.54 an hour), putting the spread between Wyoming's highest- and lowest-paying cities at just $2,880. Cheyenne and Casper each employ about 100 Physical Therapists, tied for the largest reported workforce in the state. Figures for both cities cover their full metro areas, and pay differences often track local living costs more than anything else.

Wyoming's typical pay of $100,400 compares closely with its neighbors. Colorado pays the most nearby at $102,030 (2% above), while Utah ($99,880), Idaho ($99,000), and Nebraska ($97,090) each land within a few percent below Wyoming. South Dakota ($92,660) and Montana pay the least among neighbors, with Montana's $91,450 figure running 9% below Wyoming. Physical Therapist licensure earned in one state can often be transferred or endorsed into a neighboring state, easing a move across these borders.

Physical Therapists in Wyoming typically earn $100,400 a year, close to the national figure and up 26% over the past decade from $79,420 in 2015. Pay runs highest in Cheyenne and lowest in Casper, with only a modest gap between them. Anyone considering the field in Wyoming should check the state licensing board for requirements and review city-level pages for local figures before making a decision.
