What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. New Hampshire pays this job around $76,720 at the midpoint, 24 of 49 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 156 among 488 occupations New Hampshire publishes pay for.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $76,720, tax leaves $62,803 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $59,616 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $78,450, since top earners drag the number up.
- For engineering technologists and technicians, except drafters, all other the New Hampshire median is $76,720, ranking 24 of 49 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Position 156 of 488 in New Hampshire places engineering technologists and technicians, except drafters, all other 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 tax, $62,803 remains from the New Hampshire median of $76,720 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $59,616 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $78,450 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $76,720 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $53,160 and the ninetieth is $99,750 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $62,803 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $76,720. 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 156 of 488.
- Two cautions on $59,616, the adjusted value of that $76,720 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Hampshire. 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 156 of 488 locally.
- The New Hampshire median of $76,720 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $53,160 to $99,750. 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 $62,803, from $76,720, assumes a single New Hampshire 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 156 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 24 of 49 for it.
- This $59,616 adjusted figure, worked from $76,720, 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 156 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 156 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $53,160 at the bottom tenth to $99,750 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $59,616 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $62,803 of this wage reaches your account, because New Hampshire takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 49 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 ($53,160 to $99,750) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $59,616 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $62,803 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
