What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Hawaii is 25 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $110,840. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Hawaii. It ranks 57 out of 437 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $110,840 the take-home is $79,825. But Hawaii costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $73,498 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $122,130, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Hawaii ranks 25 of 50 for administrative services managers at $110,840. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Within Hawaii, administrative services managers ranks 57 of 437 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Hawaii income tax is $79,825 for administrative services managers, from $110,840. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $73,498. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $122,130 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $110,840 as a midpoint for Hawaii, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $78,710 and the ninetieth is $173,670 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Hawaii's $79,825, worked from $110,840. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 57 of 437.
- One number stands for prices across all of Hawaii, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $73,498, the adjusted value of that $110,840 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 57 of 437 in the state.
- The Hawaii median of $110,840 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $78,710 to $173,670. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Hawaii take-home of $79,825, on $110,840 for work ranking 57 of 437 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 57 of 437 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Hawaii, so $73,498 — the adjusted value of that $110,840 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 57 of 437 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $122,130, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $78,710, the highest tenth $173,670, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Hawaii run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $73,498 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Hawaii's own levy, $79,825 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Hawaii is $122,130. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($78,710) and the ninetieth ($173,670) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Hawaii's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $73,498 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $79,825 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Hawaii income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
