What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Utah's middle earner gets $46,940, putting the state 15 of 48 — about 2.38% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Utah, this sits in the middle: 338 of 487 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Utah does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $46,940 you keep $37,807, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $39,796 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $47,550, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, Utah sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $46,940, ranking 15 of 48 and running about 2.38% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 338 of 487 occupations in Utah by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After federal, FICA and Utah income tax, retained pay for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers on $46,940 is $37,807. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $39,796 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 $47,550 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

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 Utah earn under $46,940 and half over. The published range runs $35,090 at the tenth percentile to $63,900 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $37,807 take-home in Utah comes from $46,940. 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 338 of 487.
- Two cautions on $39,796, the adjusted value of that $46,940 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 338 of 487 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Utah, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,090 to $63,900; 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 $37,807, from $46,940, assumes a single Utah 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 338 of 487 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 48 for it.
- This $39,796 adjusted figure, worked from $46,940, 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 338 of 487 in the state. The occupation ranks 338 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $35,090 and the top tenth $63,900, so most people doing this work in Utah sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $39,796.
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 $37,807 of this wage survives to your account.
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 ($35,090 to $63,900) 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 $39,796 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 $37,807 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
