What this pays, and what it is worth
- Vermont is one of the better-paying states for concierges. The middle earner takes $45,610, which ranks 7 of 47 states with published figures. That is about 17.1% above the national middle.
- Within Vermont this is lower-paid work. Of 453 occupations the state publishes figures for, concierges ranks 378. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Here is where Vermont does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $45,610 you keep $37,556, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $38,864 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $43,340, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Vermont ranks 7 of 47 states publishing a median for concierges, at $45,610 — about 17.1% 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.
- Against every occupation Vermont reports, concierges ranks 378 of 453, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- After federal, FICA and Vermont income tax, retained pay for concierges on $45,610 is $37,556. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $38,864 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $43,340 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $45,610 as a midpoint for Vermont, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $36,090 and the ninetieth is $52,000 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $37,556 take-home in Vermont comes from $45,610. 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 378 of 453.
- Two cautions on $38,864, the adjusted value of that $45,610 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Vermont. 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 378 of 453 locally.
- The Vermont median of $45,610 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $36,090 to $52,000. 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 $37,556, from $45,610, assumes a single Vermont 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 378 of 453 locally, and the state ranks 7 of 47 for it.
- This $38,864 adjusted figure, worked from $45,610, 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 378 of 453 in the state. The occupation ranks 378 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $43,340 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $36,090 at the tenth percentile, $52,000 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Vermont sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $38,864 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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; Vermont then takes its own share, leaving $37,556.
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.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Vermont is $43,340. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,090 to $52,000) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Vermont rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Vermont'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 $38,864 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 $37,556 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
