What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Texas is 30 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $74,480. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 147 among 493 occupations Texas publishes pay for.
- No great distortion either way. Texas costs about what the country costs, so from $74,480, take-home of $61,227 is worth roughly $63,007 in national money. The average comes to $76,480, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Texas ranks 30 of 50 for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment at $74,480. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 147 of 493 in Texas 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.
- Price parity in Texas is near the national base, so for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment, whose median is $74,480, the adjusted figure of $63,007 differs little from $61,227 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $76,480 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Texas earn less than $74,480. The published range is $46,560 up to $109,350, 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 Texas's $61,227, worked from $74,480. 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 147 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $63,007 uses one figure for the whole of Texas. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 147.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Texas the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $46,560 to $109,350. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Texas take-home of $61,227, on $74,480 for work ranking 147 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 147 of 493 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $63,007, worked from $74,480, 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 Texas address, on work sitting at 147 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 $46,560 and the top tenth $109,350 — 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 $63,007.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $61,227 of this wage reaches your account, because Texas 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?
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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($46,560) and the ninetieth ($109,350) 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?
Texas'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 $63,007 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $61,227 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
