What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Ohio pays this job a middle wage of $109,780, ranking 15 of 51 states and sitting about 5.83% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Ohio. It ranks 34 out of 494 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $109,780 you keep $83,758 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $91,227 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $107,140.
- Ohio's median for computer occupations, all other is $109,780, about 5.83% above the national figure and 15 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Within Ohio, computer occupations, all other ranks 34 of 494 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay in Ohio is $83,758 after the full tax stack, from $109,780. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $91,227 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $107,140 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $109,780 as a midpoint for Ohio, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $49,320 and the ninetieth is $161,520 — 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 Ohio's $83,758, worked from $109,780. 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 34 of 494.
- Two cautions on $91,227, the adjusted value of that $109,780 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Ohio. 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 34 of 494 locally.
- The Ohio median of $109,780 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $49,320 to $161,520. 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 Ohio take-home of $83,758, on $109,780 for work ranking 34 of 494 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 34 of 494 in the state.
- This $91,227 adjusted figure, worked from $109,780, 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 34 of 494 in the state. The occupation ranks 34 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $49,320, the highest tenth $161,520, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $91,227 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Ohio adds its own income tax on top — which is why $83,758 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($49,320) and the ninetieth ($161,520) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Ohio'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 $91,227 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 $83,758 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
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.
