What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Ohio pays audiologists a middle wage of $81,390, 44 of 49 states and about 15.02% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 494 occupations Ohio reports, audiologists comes in at 97 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Ohio is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $81,390 the take-home is $64,566; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $70,324 would nationally. The average comes to $82,540, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Ohio's $81,390 median for audiologists places it 44 of 49 states, about 15.02% 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.
- Audiologists ranks 97 of 494 occupations by median in Ohio, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Post-tax income for audiologists in Ohio, on $81,390, is $64,566 — equivalent to $70,324 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $82,540 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $81,390 as a midpoint for Ohio, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $45,310 and the ninetieth is $107,360 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Ohio's $64,566, worked from $81,390. 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 97 of 494.
- One number stands for prices across all of Ohio, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $70,324, the adjusted value of that $81,390 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 97 of 494 in the state.
- The Ohio median of $81,390 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $45,310 to $107,360. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Ohio take-home of $64,566, on $81,390 for work ranking 97 of 494 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 97 of 494 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Ohio, so $70,324 — the adjusted value of that $81,390 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 97 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $45,310 at the bottom tenth to $107,360 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $70,324.
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 Ohio's own levy, $64,566 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($45,310) and the ninetieth ($107,360) 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?
Ohio'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 $70,324 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 $64,566 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
