What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire sits in the middle of the pack for advertising sales agents. The median is $54,870, ranking 30 of 48 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in New Hampshire, this sits in the middle: 306 of 488 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $54,870, tax leaves $46,268 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $43,920 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $60,710, since top earners drag the number up.
- New Hampshire occupies the middle band for advertising sales agents: a median of $54,870, ranking 30 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Advertising sales agents ranks 306 of 488 occupations in New Hampshire by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After tax, $46,268 remains from the New Hampshire median of $54,870 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $43,920 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $60,710 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of advertising sales agents in New Hampshire earn under $54,870 and half over. The published range runs $30,500 at the tenth percentile to $101,120 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $46,268, from $54,870, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 306 of 488 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $43,920, the adjusted value of that $54,870 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Hampshire. 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 306 of 488 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for advertising sales agents in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $30,500 to $101,120; 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.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $46,268 from $54,870. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 306 of 488 locally.
- This $43,920 adjusted figure, worked from $54,870, 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 306 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 306 of 488 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 $60,710, 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 $30,500, the highest tenth $101,120, 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 New Hampshire run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $43,920 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $46,268 of this wage reaches your account, because New Hampshire takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 48 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 New Hampshire is $60,710. 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 ($30,500) and the ninetieth ($101,120) 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 Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $43,920 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $46,268 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
