What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Alaska pays this job around $105,960 at the midpoint, 23 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Within Alaska this is well-paid work. Of 430 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 58 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $105,960, tax leaves $83,373, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $81,967 in comparable terms. Here the average runs under the middle, at $103,680.
- For computer occupations, all other the Alaska median is $105,960, ranking 23 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Ranked against every occupation Alaska publishes a median for, computer occupations, all other sits 58 of 430 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Because Alaska sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for computer occupations, all other — median $105,960 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $83,373 retained, $81,967 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $103,680 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $105,960 as a midpoint for Alaska, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $62,910 and the ninetieth is $140,350 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $83,373 take-home in Alaska comes from $105,960. 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 58 of 430.
- One number stands for prices across all of Alaska, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $81,967, the adjusted value of that $105,960 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 58 of 430 in the state.
- The Alaska median of $105,960 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $62,910 to $140,350. 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 $83,373, from $105,960, assumes a single Alaska 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 58 of 430 locally, and the state ranks 23 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Alaska, so $81,967 — the adjusted value of that $105,960 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 58 of 430 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 $62,910 and the top tenth $140,350 — 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 $81,967 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $83,373 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($62,910) and the ninetieth ($140,350) 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?
Alaska's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $81,967 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?
Alaska levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $83,373 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
