What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Utah is 24 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $75,500. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 139 among 487 occupations Utah publishes pay for.
- Here is where Utah does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $75,500 you keep $58,585, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $61,667 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $73,820, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Utah ranks 24 of 50 for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment at $75,500. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 139 of 487 in Utah 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.
- After federal, FICA and Utah income tax, retained pay for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment on $75,500 is $58,585. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $61,667 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $73,820 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Utah earn less than $75,500. The published range is $47,430 up to $89,520, 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 Utah's $58,585, worked from $75,500. 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 139 of 487.
- Two cautions on $61,667, the adjusted value of that $75,500 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Utah. 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 139 of 487 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Utah the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $47,430 to $89,520. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Utah take-home of $58,585, on $75,500 for work ranking 139 of 487 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 139 of 487 in the state.
- This $61,667 adjusted figure, worked from $75,500, 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 139 of 487 in the state. The occupation ranks 139 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $47,430 and the top tenth $89,520, so most people doing this work in Utah sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Utah sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $61,667 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Utah adds its own income tax on top — which is why $58,585 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($47,430 to $89,520) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Utah rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Utah'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 $61,667 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 $58,585 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Utah 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.
