What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire is one of the better-paying states for dietetic technicians. The middle earner takes $41,830, which ranks 12 of 45 states with published figures. That is about 11.13% above the national middle.
- Within New Hampshire this is lower-paid work. Of 488 occupations the state publishes figures for, dietetic technicians ranks 423. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $41,830, tax leaves $35,790 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $33,974 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $41,980, since top earners drag the number up.
- New Hampshire ranks 12 of 45 states publishing a median for dietetic technicians, at $41,830 — about 11.13% 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 New Hampshire reports, dietetic technicians ranks 423 of 488, 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 tax, $35,790 remains from the New Hampshire median of $41,830 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $33,974 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $41,980 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in New Hampshire earn less than $41,830. The published range is $34,890 up to $50,360, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $35,790, from $41,830, 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 423 of 488 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of New Hampshire, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $33,974, the adjusted value of that $41,830 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 423 of 488 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for dietetic technicians in New Hampshire the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $34,890 to $50,360. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $35,790 from $41,830. 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 423 of 488 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New Hampshire, so $33,974 — the adjusted value of that $41,830 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 423 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $34,890 at the bottom tenth to $50,360 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $33,974 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $35,790 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 45 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($34,890 to $50,360) 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 $33,974 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 $35,790 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
