What this pays, and what it is worth
- Hawaii is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $83,620, which ranks 8 of 48 states with published figures. That is about 9.71% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 119 among 437 occupations Hawaii publishes pay for.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $83,620, tax leaves $62,745 — and because Hawaii is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $57,771 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $83,340.
- Hawaii ranks 8 of 48 states publishing a median for computer network support specialists, at $83,620 — about 9.71% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Position 119 of 437 in Hawaii places computer network support specialists 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.
- After tax, $62,745 remains from the Hawaii median of $83,620 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $57,771 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $83,340 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $83,620 as a midpoint for Hawaii, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $51,760 and the ninetieth is $114,910 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $62,745 take-home in Hawaii comes from $83,620. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 119 of 437.
- Two cautions on $57,771, the adjusted value of that $83,620 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Hawaii. 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 119 of 437 locally.
- The Hawaii median of $83,620 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $51,760 to $114,910. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $62,745, from $83,620, assumes a single Hawaii filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 119 of 437 locally, and the state ranks 8 of 48 for it.
- This $57,771 adjusted figure, worked from $83,620, 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 119 of 437 in the state. The occupation ranks 119 of 437 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $51,760 and the top tenth $114,910 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $57,771 of national purchasing power.
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; Hawaii then takes its own share, leaving $62,745.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($51,760) and the ninetieth ($114,910) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Hawaii's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $57,771 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 $62,745 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Hawaii 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
