What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Colorado pays concierges a middle wage of $46,720, ranking 6 of 47 states and sitting about 19.95% above the national middle.
- Against 491 occupations Colorado publishes, concierges lands at 401. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- No great distortion either way. Colorado costs about what the country costs, so from $46,720, take-home of $38,372 is worth roughly $37,849 in national money. The average lands at $45,490, below the middle of the range.
- Colorado's median for concierges is $46,720, about 19.95% above the national figure and 6 of 47 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 Colorado, this work ranks 401 of 491 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- Price parity in Colorado is near the national base, so for concierges, whose median is $46,720, the adjusted figure of $37,849 differs little from $38,372 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $45,490 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Colorado earn less than $46,720. The published range is $36,500 up to $54,060, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Colorado the take-home figure of $38,372, from $46,720, 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 401 of 491 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Colorado, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $37,849, the adjusted value of that $46,720 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 401 of 491 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for concierges in Colorado the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $36,500 to $54,060. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Colorado is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $38,372 from $46,720. 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 401 of 491 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Colorado, so $37,849 — the adjusted value of that $46,720 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 401 of 491 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $36,500 and the top tenth $54,060, so most people doing this work in Colorado sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $37,849 of national purchasing power.
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 Colorado adds its own income tax on top — which is why $38,372 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 47 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,500 to $54,060) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Colorado rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Colorado's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $37,849 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 $38,372 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Colorado 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 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
