What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Texas. The middle earner gets $45,480. That is 36 of 50 states, and about 4.87% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations Texas reports figures for, this is number 343.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $45,480, tax leaves $38,723, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $39,849 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $46,460, since top earners drag the number up.
- For computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers, Texas sits in the lower band at $45,480, ranking 36 of 50 and trailing the national median by about 4.87%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- In Texas's occupational distribution, computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers sits at 343 of 493 — 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.
- Because Texas sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for computer, automated teller, and office machine repairers — median $45,480 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $38,723 retained, $39,849 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $46,460 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $45,480 as a midpoint for Texas, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,010 and the ninetieth is $60,280 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Texas the take-home figure of $38,723, from $45,480, 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 343 of 493 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $39,849, the adjusted value of that $45,480 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Texas. 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 343 of 493 locally.
- The Texas median of $45,480 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,010 to $60,280. 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 Texas is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $38,723 from $45,480. 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 343 of 493 locally.
- This $39,849 adjusted figure, worked from $45,480, 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 343 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 343 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $35,010 at the bottom tenth to $60,280 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Texas sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $39,849 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $38,723 of this wage reaches your account, because Texas takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 ($35,010 to $60,280) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Texas rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Texas'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 $39,849 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $38,723 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.
