What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida sits in the middle of the pack for audiologists. The median is $93,480, ranking 30 of 49 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Florida this is well-paid work. Of 493 occupations with published figures in the state, audiologists ranks 77 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $93,480, tax leaves $74,593 — and because Florida is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $72,104 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $93,110.
- Florida occupies the middle band for audiologists: a median of $93,480, ranking 30 of 49. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Florida publishes a median for, audiologists sits 77 of 493 — 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 tax, $74,593 remains from the Florida median of $93,480 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $72,104 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $93,110 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Florida earn less than $93,480. The published range is $62,980 up to $120,100, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $74,593 take-home in Florida comes from $93,480. 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 77 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $72,104 uses one figure for the whole of Florida. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 77.
- Reported values are medians; for audiologists in Florida the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $62,980 to $120,100. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $74,593, from $93,480, assumes a single Florida 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 77 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 30 of 49 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $72,104, worked from $93,480, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Florida address, on work sitting at 77 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $62,980 at the bottom tenth to $120,100 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $72,104 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $74,593 of this wage reaches your account, because Florida 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 49 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($62,980 to $120,100) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $72,104 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?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $74,593 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
