A typical Radiologic Technologist in Wyoming earns about $37.43 per hour, or $77,860 per year, according to the latest government wage data (May 2025). Calculated from that annual figure, pay works out to roughly $6,488 a month and $1,497 a week. These figures reflect typical pay across the state's Rad Tech workforce.

Wyoming's typical pay runs about 3% below the national figure of $80,110 a year and $38.52 an hour, according to the same government wage data. That places the state 29th among the 51 states and territories ranked for this occupation. Wyoming's Rad Tech workforce numbers around 430, a small slice of the 230,490 Rad Techs employed nationwide.

Entry-level positions in Wyoming typically offer around $27.28 an hour, or about $56,750 a year, for Rad Techs just starting out. Many newer technologists reach around $30.62 an hour, or $63,700 a year, within their first few years on the job. From there, pay tends to move steadily upward as technologists gain experience and take on more complex imaging work, reaching the state's typical pay of $77,860 within several years.

Experienced Rad Techs in Wyoming often earn upwards of $95,670 a year ($45.99 an hour), and the top 10% make over $104,790 ($50.38 an hour). That's a spread of $48,040 between entry-level and top earners. Setting, experience, and city all play a part in where someone lands within that range, with higher-paying cities such as Cheyenne pulling pay toward the top.

Wyoming's typical Rad Tech pay has risen steadily over the past six years, climbing from $57,380 in 2019 to $77,860 in 2025. That's a gain of $20,480, or about 36%, over that stretch. The increase has been fairly consistent year over year, without sharp dips or plateaus.

Nationally, Rad Tech pay rose 32% over roughly the same decade, so Wyoming's increase outpaced the national trend. For someone starting out now, that history shows pay has moved up meaningfully in recent years, though nothing about future increases is guaranteed. Current pay levels reflect where the occupation stands today, not a promise of continued growth at the same pace.

Pay runs highest in Cheyenne, where Rad Techs earn $86,110 a year, or $41.40 an hour, about 11% above the state figure of $77,860. Wyoming's wage data covers just two metro areas, and each figure reflects that city's full metro area rather than a single job site. That leaves Cheyenne and Casper as the only two local benchmarks available for comparison.

Casper, which also has the state's largest Rad Tech workforce at around 100 employed, pays lower at $65,670 a year, or $31.57 an hour. That's a spread of $20,440 between Wyoming's highest- and lowest-paying metro areas. Lower pay in Casper likely tracks lower living costs there compared with Cheyenne, a pattern common across the country. For most Wyoming Rad Techs, local pay depends heavily on which of these two metro areas they work in.

Among neighboring states, Colorado pays the most, with Rad Techs earning $87,760 a year, about 13% above Wyoming's figure. Utah ($81,000) and Idaho ($80,080) also run slightly higher, while Montana ($77,070) and Nebraska ($72,860) sit at or below Wyoming's level. South Dakota pays noticeably less, at $65,240 a year, about 16% below Wyoming. Rad Tech licensure earned in Wyoming can often be endorsed or transferred into a neighboring state, though requirements vary by state licensing board.

Rad Techs in Wyoming typically earn $77,860 a year, or $37.43 an hour, up 36% over the past six years. Pay varies by city, with Cheyenne and Casper offering the two clearest local benchmarks. Anyone weighing a move or a new license should check Wyoming's licensing and registry requirements directly, and compare local pay through the city-level pages for a fuller picture before deciding where to work.
