What this pays, and what it is worth
- Utah is one of the better-paying states for audiologists. The middle earner takes $104,450, which ranks 11 of 49 states with published figures. That is about 9.05% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Utah. It ranks 52 out of 487 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Utah is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $104,450 the take-home is $77,663; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $81,748 would nationally. The average comes to $106,610, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Utah ranks 11 of 49 states publishing a median for audiologists, at $104,450 — about 9.05% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Within Utah, audiologists ranks 52 of 487 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.
- Post-tax income for audiologists in Utah, on $104,450, is $77,663 — equivalent to $81,748 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 $106,610 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Utah earn less than $104,450. The published range is $77,460 up to $135,160, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $77,663 take-home in Utah comes from $104,450. 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 52 of 487.
- One number stands for prices across all of Utah, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $81,748, the adjusted value of that $104,450 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 52 of 487 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for audiologists in Utah the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $77,460 to $135,160. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $77,663, from $104,450, assumes a single Utah 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 52 of 487 locally, and the state ranks 11 of 49 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Utah, so $81,748 — the adjusted value of that $104,450 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 52 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $77,460 at the tenth percentile, $135,160 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Utah sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $81,748 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Utah then takes its own share, leaving $77,663.
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 ($77,460 to $135,160) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Utah rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Utah'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 $81,748 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 $77,663 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Utah 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.
