What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Vermont pays this job a middle wage of $97,040, 42 of 50 states and about 14.97% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Vermont this is well-paid work. Of 453 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 63 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Vermont does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $97,040 you keep $72,803, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $75,339 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $107,240, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Vermont's $97,040 median for administrative services managers places it 42 of 50 states, about 14.97% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Ranked against every occupation Vermont publishes a median for, administrative services managers sits 63 of 453 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- After federal, FICA and Vermont income tax, retained pay for administrative services managers on $97,040 is $72,803. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $75,339 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $107,240 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of administrative services managers in Vermont earn under $97,040 and half over. The published range runs $72,130 at the tenth percentile to $155,360 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Vermont's $72,803, worked from $97,040. 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 63 of 453.
- Two cautions on $75,339, the adjusted value of that $97,040 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Vermont. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 63 of 453 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for administrative services managers in Vermont, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $72,130 to $155,360; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Vermont take-home of $72,803, on $97,040 for work ranking 63 of 453 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 63 of 453 in the state.
- This $75,339 adjusted figure, worked from $97,040, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 63 of 453 in the state. The occupation ranks 63 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $107,240, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $72,130 and the top tenth $155,360 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Vermont is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $75,339 in national terms.
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 Vermont's own levy, $72,803 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 Vermont is $107,240. 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 ($72,130) and the ninetieth ($155,360) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Vermont's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $75,339 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $72,803 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
