What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $38,510, ranking 17 of 48 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Measured against other jobs in New Hampshire, this one sits low: 444 of 488 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $38,510 the take-home is $33,123. But New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $31,442 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $40,630, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New Hampshire occupies the middle band for demonstrators and product promoters: a median of $38,510, ranking 17 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Demonstrators and product promoters occupies position 444 of 488 in New Hampshire's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and New Hampshire income tax is $33,123 for demonstrators and product promoters, from $38,510. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $31,442. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $40,630 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of demonstrators and product promoters in New Hampshire earn under $38,510 and half over. The published range runs $35,170 at the tenth percentile to $52,400 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind New Hampshire's $33,123, worked from $38,510. 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 444 of 488.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $31,442 uses one figure for the whole of New Hampshire. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 488 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 444.
- Figures are distribution medians for demonstrators and product promoters in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,170 to $52,400; 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.
- The New Hampshire take-home of $33,123, on $38,510 for work ranking 444 of 488 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 444 of 488 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $31,442, worked from $38,510, 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 New Hampshire address, on work sitting at 444 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $40,630, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $35,170 and the top tenth $52,400, so most people doing this work in New Hampshire sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New Hampshire run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $31,442 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $33,123 of this wage reaches your account, because New Hampshire takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 48 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 New Hampshire is $40,630. 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 ($35,170 to $52,400) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $31,442 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $33,123 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
