What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire is one of the better-paying states for dishwashers. The middle earner takes $34,960, which ranks 16 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 0.43% above the national middle.
- Within New Hampshire this is lower-paid work. Of 488 occupations the state publishes figures for, dishwashers ranks 469. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $34,960, tax leaves $30,270 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $28,735 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $34,440.
- New Hampshire ranks 16 of 51 states publishing a median for dishwashers, at $34,960 — about 0.43% 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, dishwashers ranks 469 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, $30,270 remains from the New Hampshire median of $34,960 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $28,735 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $34,440 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in New Hampshire earn less than $34,960. The published range is $27,290 up to $43,580, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $30,270 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $34,960. 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 469 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of New Hampshire, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $28,735, the adjusted value of that $34,960 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 469 of 488 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for dishwashers in New Hampshire the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $27,290 to $43,580. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $30,270, from $34,960, assumes a single New Hampshire 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 469 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 16 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New Hampshire, so $28,735 — the adjusted value of that $34,960 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 469 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $27,290 at the bottom tenth to $43,580 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $28,735 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $30,270 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.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($27,290 to $43,580) 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 $28,735 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 $30,270 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.
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.
