What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Michigan. The middle earner gets $66,140. That is 38 of 50 states, and about 10.73% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 179 among 493 occupations Michigan publishes pay for.
- Michigan is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $66,140 the take-home is $52,763; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $56,022 would nationally. The average comes to $67,340, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment, Michigan sits in the lower band at $66,140, ranking 38 of 50 and trailing the national median by about 10.73%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 179 of 493 in Michigan 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.
- Post-tax income for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Michigan, on $66,140, is $52,763 — equivalent to $56,022 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $67,340 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Michigan earn less than $66,140. The published range is $43,470 up to $92,150, 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 Michigan's $52,763, worked from $66,140. 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 179 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Michigan, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,022, the adjusted value of that $66,140 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 179 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Michigan the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $43,470 to $92,150. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Michigan take-home of $52,763, on $66,140 for work ranking 179 of 493 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 179 of 493 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Michigan, so $56,022 — the adjusted value of that $66,140 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 179 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $43,470 and the top tenth $92,150 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $56,022.
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 Michigan adds its own income tax on top — which is why $52,763 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($43,470) and the ninetieth ($92,150) 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?
Michigan'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 $56,022 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 $52,763 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Michigan 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.
