What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Indiana pays this job a middle wage of $42,810, 36 of 48 states and about 6.63% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Indiana this is lower-paid work. Of 493 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 391. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Indiana is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $42,810 the take-home is $35,344; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $38,341 would nationally. The average comes to $43,460, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Indiana's $42,810 median for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers places it 36 of 48 states, about 6.63% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Against every occupation Indiana reports, electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 391 of 493, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- Post-tax income for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Indiana, on $42,810, is $35,344 — equivalent to $38,341 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 $43,460 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Indiana earn under $42,810 and half over. The published range runs $35,630 at the tenth percentile to $56,550 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Indiana the take-home figure of $35,344, from $42,810, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 391 of 493 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $38,341 uses one figure for the whole of Indiana. 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 391.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Indiana, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,630 to $56,550; 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.
- Take-home for Indiana is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $35,344 from $42,810. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 391 of 493 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $38,341, worked from $42,810, 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 Indiana address, on work sitting at 391 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $35,630 at the bottom tenth to $56,550 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Indiana is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $38,341 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Indiana then takes its own share, leaving $35,344.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 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 ($35,630 to $56,550) 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 $38,341 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 $35,344 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.
