What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Connecticut's middle earner gets $63,880, putting the state 1 of 45 — about 34.12% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 482 occupations Connecticut reports figures for, this is number 247.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $63,880 the take-home is $50,744. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $48,939 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is lower, $63,640, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For automotive glass installers and repairers, Connecticut sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $63,880, ranking 1 of 45 and running about 34.12% 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.
- In Connecticut's occupational distribution, automotive glass installers and repairers sits at 247 of 482 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $50,744 for automotive glass installers and repairers, from $63,880. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $48,939. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $63,640 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $63,880 as a midpoint for Connecticut, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $43,700 and the ninetieth is $79,950 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Connecticut the take-home figure of $50,744, from $63,880, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 247 of 482 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $48,939, the adjusted value of that $63,880 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 247 of 482 in the state.
- The Connecticut median of $63,880 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $43,700 to $79,950. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Connecticut is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $50,744 from $63,880. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 247 of 482 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $48,939 — the adjusted value of that $63,880 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 247 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $43,700 and the top tenth $79,950, so most people doing this work in Connecticut sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $48,939 of national purchasing power.
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 Connecticut's own levy, $50,744 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 45 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 ($43,700 to $79,950) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $48,939 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $50,744 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
