What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Colorado's middle earner gets $79,610, putting the state 14 of 50 — about 7.45% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 146 among 491 occupations Colorado publishes pay for.
- Prices here sit close to the national average, so the adjustment changes little. From $79,610 the take-home is $62,041, which is worth about $61,195 in comparable money. Tax does most of the work here, not cost of living. The average is higher, $81,010, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment, Colorado sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $79,610, ranking 14 of 50 and running about 7.45% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 146 of 491 in Colorado places electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Colorado's price level is near the national average, so price deflation is close to neutral for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment on its $79,610 median: $62,041 retained after tax becomes $61,195 in national-average terms. Where the price adjustment is small, the tax stack is the dominant determinant of the real outcome. The mean of $81,010 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Colorado earn less than $79,610. The published range is $53,540 up to $108,940, 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 Colorado's $62,041, worked from $79,610. 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 146 of 491.
- Two cautions on $61,195, the adjusted value of that $79,610 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Colorado. 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 146 of 491 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Colorado the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $53,540 to $108,940. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Colorado take-home of $62,041, on $79,610 for work ranking 146 of 491 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 146 of 491 in the state.
- This $61,195 adjusted figure, worked from $79,610, 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 146 of 491 in the state. The occupation ranks 146 of 491 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $53,540 at the tenth percentile, $108,940 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Colorado costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $61,195 rather than its face figure.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Colorado's own levy, $62,041 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($53,540 to $108,940) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Colorado rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Colorado's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $61,195 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $62,041 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Colorado 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
