What this pays, and what it is worth
- Oregon is one of the better-paying states for budget analysts. The middle earner takes $95,250, which ranks 11 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 3.94% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Oregon. It ranks 112 out of 489 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Oregon is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $95,250 the take-home is $68,054; in national-average money that behaves like $64,986. The average lands at $95,030, below the middle of the range.
- Oregon ranks 11 of 51 states publishing a median for budget analysts, at $95,250 — about 3.94% 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 Oregon, budget analysts ranks 112 of 489 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.
- Take-home for budget analysts in Oregon, on $95,250, is $68,054; deflated by the state's price level, $64,986. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $95,030 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of budget analysts in Oregon earn under $95,250 and half over. The published range runs $64,360 at the tenth percentile to $124,900 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 Oregon's $68,054, worked from $95,250. 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 112 of 489.
- One number stands for prices across all of Oregon, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $64,986, the adjusted value of that $95,250 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 112 of 489 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for budget analysts in Oregon, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $64,360 to $124,900; 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 Oregon take-home of $68,054, on $95,250 for work ranking 112 of 489 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 112 of 489 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Oregon, so $64,986 — the adjusted value of that $95,250 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 112 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $64,360 at the tenth percentile, $124,900 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Oregon costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $64,986 rather than its face figure.
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; Oregon then takes its own share, leaving $68,054.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($64,360 to $124,900) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Oregon rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Oregon's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $64,986 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 $68,054 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oregon 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
