What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Florida. The middle earner gets $45,690. That is 35 of 50 states, and about 4.43% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 353 among 493 occupations Florida publishes pay for.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $45,690 the take-home is $38,892; in national-average money that behaves like $37,594. The average comes to $47,510, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers, Florida sits in the lower band at $45,690, ranking 35 of 50 and trailing the national median by about 4.43%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 353 of 493 in Florida places computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers 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.
- Take-home for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers in Florida, on $45,690, is $38,892; deflated by the state's price level, $37,594. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $47,510 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers in Florida earn under $45,690 and half over. The published range runs $35,990 at the tenth percentile to $61,970 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Florida the take-home figure of $38,892, from $45,690, 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 353 of 493 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $37,594 uses one figure for the whole of Florida. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 353.
- Figures are distribution medians for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,990 to $61,970; 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 Florida is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $38,892 from $45,690. 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 353 of 493 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $37,594, worked from $45,690, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Florida address, on work sitting at 353 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $47,510, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $35,990 at the tenth percentile, $61,970 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Florida run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $37,594 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $38,892 survives, because Florida levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 Florida is $47,510. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,990 to $61,970) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $37,594 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?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $38,892 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
