What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Connecticut pays this job a middle wage of $61,190, ranking 1 of 50 states and sitting about 27.99% above the national middle.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 482 occupations Connecticut reports figures for, this is number 276.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $61,190, tax leaves $48,731 — and because Connecticut is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $46,997 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $62,420, since top earners drag the number up.
- Connecticut's median for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers is $61,190, about 27.99% above the national figure and 1 of 50 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- In Connecticut's occupational distribution, computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers sits at 276 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.
- After tax, $48,731 remains from the Connecticut median of $61,190 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $46,997 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $62,420 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $61,190 as a midpoint for Connecticut, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $39,420 and the ninetieth is $93,830 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Connecticut's $48,731, worked from $61,190. 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 276 of 482.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $46,997, the adjusted value of that $61,190 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 276 of 482 in the state.
- The Connecticut median of $61,190 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $39,420 to $93,830. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Connecticut take-home of $48,731, on $61,190 for work ranking 276 of 482 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 276 of 482 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $46,997 — the adjusted value of that $61,190 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 276 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $39,420, the highest tenth $93,830, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $46,997 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, $48,731 remains.
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 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($39,420) and the ninetieth ($93,830) 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?
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 $46,997 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 $48,731 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
