What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. New York pays this job a middle wage of $142,280, ranking 3 of 50 states and sitting about 24.66% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in New York. It ranks 29 out of 493 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $142,280, tax leaves $100,767 — and because New York is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $93,627 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $165,360, since top earners drag the number up.
- New York's median for administrative services managers is $142,280, about 24.66% above the national figure and 3 of 50 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Within New York, administrative services managers ranks 29 of 493 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.
- After tax, $100,767 remains from the New York median of $142,280 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $93,627 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $165,360 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in New York earn less than $142,280. The published range is $85,760 up to $294,370, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $100,767 take-home in New York comes from $142,280. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 29 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of New York, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $93,627, the adjusted value of that $142,280 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 29 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for administrative services managers in New York the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $85,760 to $294,370. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $100,767, from $142,280, assumes a single New York filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 29 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 3 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New York, so $93,627 — the adjusted value of that $142,280 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 29 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $165,360 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $85,760 and the top tenth $294,370 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New York costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $93,627 rather than its face figure.
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 New York's own levy, $100,767 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 New York is $165,360. 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 ($85,760) and the ninetieth ($294,370) 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?
New York's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $93,627 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 $100,767 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New York 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.
