What is the average salary in Moab Utah?

The average salary in Moab tends to run lower than the state average because the local economy leans heavily on tourism, hospitality, and parks-related work, all of which pay below the broader Utah median. CostLiving’s moderate lifestyle benchmark for Moab is $3,500 per person per month, or about $42,000 a year, which sits above many entry-level tourism wages but below typical professional pay. Working-age residents in tourism roles often combine multiple part-time jobs to meet the moderate threshold; remote workers and retirees who bring income from elsewhere face a much easier picture. Moab matches Utah ($3,500) on cost totals but the local wage base runs softer than the state mean. For the full cost picture, see our Moab cost of living page.
