What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for audiologists is strong here. Minnesota's middle earner gets $102,130, putting the state 16 of 49 — about 6.63% ahead of the national figure.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Minnesota. It ranks 68 out of 490 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $102,130, take-home of $75,257 is worth roughly $76,467 in national money. The average comes to $102,710, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For audiologists, Minnesota sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $102,130, ranking 16 of 49 and running about 6.63% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Within Minnesota, audiologists ranks 68 of 490 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.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for audiologists, whose median is $102,130, the adjusted figure of $76,467 differs little from $75,257 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $102,710 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of audiologists in Minnesota earn under $102,130 and half over. The published range runs $83,750 at the tenth percentile to $120,110 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 Minnesota's $75,257, worked from $102,130. 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 68 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $76,467, the adjusted value of that $102,130 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 68 of 490 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for audiologists in Minnesota, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $83,750 to $120,110; 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 Minnesota take-home of $75,257, on $102,130 for work ranking 68 of 490 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 68 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $76,467 — the adjusted value of that $102,130 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 68 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $83,750 at the bottom tenth to $120,110 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Minnesota sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $76,467 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Minnesota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $75,257 of this wage survives to your account.
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 ($83,750 to $120,110) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Minnesota rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota'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 $76,467 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 $75,257 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
