What this pays, and what it is worth
- Indiana sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $105,700, ranking 18 of 48 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Indiana. It ranks 37 out of 493 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $105,700 you keep $80,101 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $86,893 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $102,690.
- Indiana occupies the middle band for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay: a median of $105,700, ranking 18 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Within Indiana, electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay ranks 37 of 493 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay in Indiana is $80,101 after the full tax stack, from $105,700. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $86,893 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $102,690 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $105,700 as a midpoint for Indiana, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $72,870 and the ninetieth is $128,070 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $80,101 take-home in Indiana comes from $105,700. 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 37 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Indiana, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $86,893, the adjusted value of that $105,700 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 37 of 493 in the state.
- The Indiana median of $105,700 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $72,870 to $128,070. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $80,101, from $105,700, assumes a single Indiana 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 37 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Indiana, so $86,893 — the adjusted value of that $105,700 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 37 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $72,870 at the bottom tenth to $128,070 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Indiana sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $86,893 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 Indiana adds its own income tax on top — which is why $80,101 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 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 ($72,870 to $128,070) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Indiana rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Indiana'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 $86,893 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 $80,101 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Indiana 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
