What this pays, and what it is worth
- Utah is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $49,310, which ranks 13 of 45 states with published figures. That is about 3.53% above the national middle.
- Against other work in Utah, this sits in the middle: 310 of 487 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Utah is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $49,310 the take-home is $39,606; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $41,690 would nationally. The average lands at $49,290, below the middle of the range.
- Utah ranks 13 of 45 states publishing a median for automotive glass installers and repairers, at $49,310 — about 3.53% 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.
- Automotive glass installers and repairers ranks 310 of 487 occupations in Utah by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Post-tax income for automotive glass installers and repairers in Utah, on $49,310, is $39,606 — equivalent to $41,690 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 $49,290 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of automotive glass installers and repairers in Utah earn under $49,310 and half over. The published range runs $35,460 at the tenth percentile to $73,260 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $39,606 take-home in Utah comes from $49,310. 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 310 of 487.
- One number stands for prices across all of Utah, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,690, the adjusted value of that $49,310 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 310 of 487 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for automotive glass installers and repairers in Utah, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,460 to $73,260; 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.
- Retained pay of $39,606, from $49,310, 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 310 of 487 locally, and the state ranks 13 of 45 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Utah, so $41,690 — the adjusted value of that $49,310 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 310 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $35,460, the highest tenth $73,260, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Utah is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $41,690 in national terms.
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 $39,606.
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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($35,460) and the ninetieth ($73,260) 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?
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 $41,690 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 $39,606 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
