What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Minnesota pays this job around $71,520 at the midpoint, 33 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 217 among 490 occupations Minnesota publishes pay for.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $71,520, tax leaves $55,804, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $56,702 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $73,400, since top earners drag the number up.
- For cardiovascular technologists and technicians the Minnesota median is $71,520, ranking 33 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Position 217 of 490 in Minnesota places cardiovascular technologists and technicians in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Because Minnesota sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for cardiovascular technologists and technicians — median $71,520 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $55,804 retained, $56,702 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $73,400 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Minnesota earn less than $71,520. The published range is $48,970 up to $106,650, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $55,804 take-home in Minnesota comes from $71,520. 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 217 of 490.
- Two cautions on $56,702, the adjusted value of that $71,520 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Minnesota. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 217 of 490 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for cardiovascular technologists and technicians in Minnesota the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $48,970 to $106,650. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $55,804, from $71,520, assumes a single Minnesota 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 217 of 490 locally, and the state ranks 33 of 51 for it.
- This $56,702 adjusted figure, worked from $71,520, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 217 of 490 in the state. The occupation ranks 217 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $48,970 at the bottom tenth to $106,650 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Minnesota is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $56,702 in national terms.
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 Minnesota's own levy, $55,804 remains.
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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($48,970) and the ninetieth ($106,650) 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?
Minnesota'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 $56,702 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 $55,804 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
