What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. New Jersey's middle earner gets $57,330, putting the state 6 of 50 — about 19.91% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in New Jersey, this sits in the middle: 309 of 490 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $57,330, tax leaves $46,625 — and because New Jersey is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $42,821 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $57,310.
- For computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers, New Jersey sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $57,330, ranking 6 of 50 and running about 19.91% 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 309 of 490 occupations in New Jersey 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.
- After tax, $46,625 remains from the New Jersey median of $57,330 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $42,821 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $57,310 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $57,330 as a midpoint for New Jersey, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $37,800 and the ninetieth is $77,460 — 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 New Jersey's $46,625, worked from $57,330. 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 309 of 490.
- Two cautions on $42,821, the adjusted value of that $57,330 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Jersey. 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 309 of 490 locally.
- The New Jersey median of $57,330 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $37,800 to $77,460. 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 New Jersey take-home of $46,625, on $57,330 for work ranking 309 of 490 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 309 of 490 in the state.
- This $42,821 adjusted figure, worked from $57,330, 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 309 of 490 in the state. The occupation ranks 309 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,800 at the bottom tenth to $77,460 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New Jersey run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $42,821 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; New Jersey then takes its own share, leaving $46,625.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,800 to $77,460) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Jersey rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Jersey's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $42,821 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 $46,625 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New Jersey 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.
