What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Idaho is 23 of 51 states for credit analysts, with a middle wage of $79,650. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 476 occupations Idaho reports, credit analysts comes in at 104 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $79,650 you keep $61,496 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $67,263 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $86,510, since top earners drag the number up.
- Idaho ranks 23 of 51 for credit analysts at $79,650. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Credit analysts ranks 104 of 476 occupations by median in Idaho, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Idaho is $61,496 after the full tax stack, from $79,650. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $67,263 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $86,510 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Idaho earn less than $79,650. The published range is $58,770 up to $139,990, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Idaho's $61,496, worked from $79,650. 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 104 of 476.
- Two cautions on $67,263, the adjusted value of that $79,650 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Idaho. 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 104 of 476 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for credit analysts in Idaho the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $58,770 to $139,990. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Idaho take-home of $61,496, on $79,650 for work ranking 104 of 476 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 104 of 476 in the state.
- This $67,263 adjusted figure, worked from $79,650, 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 104 of 476 in the state. The occupation ranks 104 of 476 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $86,510, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $58,770, the highest tenth $139,990, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Idaho sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $67,263 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Idaho adds its own income tax on top — which is why $61,496 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.
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 Idaho is $86,510. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($58,770) and the ninetieth ($139,990) 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?
Idaho'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 $67,263 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 $61,496 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
