What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Delaware's middle earner gets $51,550, putting the state 12 of 50 — about 7.82% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Delaware, this sits in the middle: 276 of 445 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- No great distortion either way. Delaware costs about what the country costs, so from $51,550, take-home of $41,306 is worth roughly $41,617 in national money. The average lands at $51,450, below the middle of the range.
- For computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers, Delaware sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $51,550, ranking 12 of 50 and running about 7.82% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers ranks 276 of 445 occupations in Delaware 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.
- Price parity in Delaware is near the national base, so for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers, whose median is $51,550, the adjusted figure of $41,617 differs little from $41,306 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $51,450 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers in Delaware earn under $51,550 and half over. The published range runs $36,990 at the tenth percentile to $66,560 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 Delaware's $41,306, worked from $51,550. 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 445.
- One number stands for prices across all of Delaware, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,617, the adjusted value of that $51,550 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 445 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers in Delaware, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,990 to $66,560; 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 Delaware take-home of $41,306, on $51,550 for work ranking 276 of 445 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 445 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Delaware, so $41,617 — the adjusted value of that $51,550 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 445 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $36,990 at the bottom tenth to $66,560 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Delaware is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $41,617 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 Delaware's own levy, $41,306 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,990 to $66,560) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Delaware rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Delaware'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 $41,617 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 $41,306 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Delaware 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.
