- Kansas occupies the middle band for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay: a median of $104,970, ranking 20 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.
- Electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay ranks 41 of 488 occupations by median in Kansas, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Post-tax income for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay in Kansas, on $104,970, is $77,108 — equivalent to $85,708 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.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay in Kansas earn under $104,970 and half over. The published range runs $81,850 at the tenth percentile to $121,350 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $77,108 take-home in Kansas comes from $104,970. 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 41 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of Kansas, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $85,708, the adjusted value of that $104,970 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 41 of 488 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay in Kansas, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $81,850 to $121,350; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Retained pay of $77,108, from $104,970, assumes a single Kansas 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 41 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 20 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Kansas, so $85,708 — the adjusted value of that $104,970 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 41 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $81,850 at the tenth percentile, $121,350 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Kansas is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $85,708 in national terms.
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 Kansas adds its own income tax on top — which is why $77,108 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 ($81,850 to $121,350) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Kansas rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Kansas'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 $85,708 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 $77,108 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Kansas 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.
