What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Georgia pays this job a middle wage of $45,390, 37 of 50 states and about 5.06% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 356 among 492 occupations Georgia publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $45,390 you keep $36,985 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $38,247 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $47,010, since top earners drag the number up.
- Georgia's $45,390 median for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers places it 37 of 50 states, about 5.06% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Position 356 of 492 in Georgia 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.
- Retained pay in Georgia is $36,985 after the full tax stack, from $45,390. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $38,247 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $47,010 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $45,390 as a midpoint for Georgia, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $34,080 and the ninetieth is $62,780 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Georgia the take-home figure of $36,985, from $45,390, 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 356 of 492 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $38,247, the adjusted value of that $45,390 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Georgia. 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 356 of 492 locally.
- The Georgia median of $45,390 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $34,080 to $62,780. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Georgia is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $36,985 from $45,390. 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 356 of 492 locally.
- This $38,247 adjusted figure, worked from $45,390, 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 356 of 492 in the state. The occupation ranks 356 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $47,010, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $34,080 at the tenth percentile, $62,780 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $38,247.
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 Georgia's own levy, $36,985 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 Georgia is $47,010. 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 ($34,080 to $62,780) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Georgia rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Georgia'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 $38,247 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 $36,985 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Georgia 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.
