What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for audiologists is on the low side in Indiana. The middle earner gets $90,280. That is 35 of 49 states, and about 5.74% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Indiana. It ranks 73 out of 493 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $90,280 you keep $69,708 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $75,619 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $88,600.
- For audiologists, Indiana sits in the lower band at $90,280, ranking 35 of 49 and trailing the national median by about 5.74%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Indiana, audiologists ranks 73 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.
- Retained pay in Indiana is $69,708 after the full tax stack, from $90,280. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $75,619 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $88,600 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Indiana earn less than $90,280. The published range is $65,790 up to $108,040, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $69,708 take-home in Indiana comes from $90,280. 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 73 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $75,619 uses one figure for the whole of Indiana. 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 73.
- Reported values are medians; for audiologists in Indiana the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $65,790 to $108,040. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $69,708, from $90,280, assumes a single Indiana 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 73 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 35 of 49 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $75,619, worked from $90,280, 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 Indiana address, on work sitting at 73 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $65,790 and the top tenth $108,040, so most people doing this work in Indiana sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $75,619.
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 Indiana's own levy, $69,708 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 49 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($65,790 to $108,040) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Indiana rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Indiana'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 $75,619 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 $69,708 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Indiana 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
