What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for computer systems analysts is strong here. Oregon's middle earner gets $121,620, putting the state 7 of 50 — about 14.9% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Oregon this is well-paid work. Of 489 occupations with published figures in the state, computer systems analysts ranks 49 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Oregon is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $121,620 the take-home is $84,298; in national-average money that behaves like $80,498. The average comes to $123,690, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For computer systems analysts, Oregon sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $121,620, ranking 7 of 50 and running about 14.9% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Oregon publishes a median for, computer systems analysts sits 49 of 489 — 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.
- Take-home for computer systems analysts in Oregon, on $121,620, is $84,298; deflated by the state's price level, $80,498. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $123,690 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of computer systems analysts in Oregon earn under $121,620 and half over. The published range runs $79,530 at the tenth percentile to $168,380 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Oregon the take-home figure of $84,298, from $121,620, 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 49 of 489 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $80,498 uses one figure for the whole of Oregon. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 489 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 49.
- Figures are distribution medians for computer systems analysts in Oregon, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $79,530 to $168,380; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for Oregon is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $84,298 from $121,620. 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 49 of 489 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $80,498, worked from $121,620, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Oregon address, on work sitting at 49 of 489 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 $79,530 and the top tenth $168,380 — 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 $80,498 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; Oregon then takes its own share, leaving $84,298.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($79,530) and the ninetieth ($168,380) 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?
Oregon's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $80,498 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 $84,298 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oregon 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.
