What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire is among the lower-paying states for chiropractors. The middle earner takes $69,990, ranking 40 of 48 states — about 11.63% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 488 occupations New Hampshire reports figures for, this is number 190.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $69,990 the take-home is $58,068. But New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $55,122 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $92,250, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New Hampshire ranks 40 of 48 for chiropractors, with a median of $69,990 — about 11.63% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- In New Hampshire's occupational distribution, chiropractors sits at 190 of 488 — 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 New Hampshire income tax is $58,068 for chiropractors, from $69,990. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $55,122. ⚠️ 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 $92,250 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of chiropractors in New Hampshire earn under $69,990 and half over. The published range runs $26,240 at the tenth percentile to $218,990 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $58,068, from $69,990, 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 190 of 488 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $55,122, the adjusted value of that $69,990 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Hampshire. 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 190 of 488 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for chiropractors in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $26,240 to $218,990; 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.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $58,068 from $69,990. 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 190 of 488 locally.
- This $55,122 adjusted figure, worked from $69,990, 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 190 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 190 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $92,250 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $26,240 at the bottom tenth to $218,990 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New Hampshire run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $55,122 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $58,068 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 48 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in New Hampshire is $92,250. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($26,240) and the ninetieth ($218,990) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $55,122 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $58,068 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
