What this pays, and what it is worth
- Hawaii is one of the better-paying states for facilities managers. The middle earner takes $108,750, which ranks 17 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 1.96% above the national middle.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 437 occupations Hawaii reports, facilities managers comes in at 59 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $108,750 the take-home is $78,514. But Hawaii costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $72,290 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $115,940, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Hawaii ranks 17 of 51 states publishing a median for facilities managers, at $108,750 — about 1.96% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Facilities managers ranks 59 of 437 occupations by median in Hawaii, 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Hawaii income tax is $78,514 for facilities managers, from $108,750. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $72,290. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $115,940 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $108,750 as a midpoint for Hawaii, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $66,810 and the ninetieth is $174,010 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $78,514 take-home in Hawaii comes from $108,750. 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 59 of 437.
- Two cautions on $72,290, the adjusted value of that $108,750 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Hawaii. 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 59 of 437 locally.
- The Hawaii median of $108,750 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $66,810 to $174,010. 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 $78,514, from $108,750, assumes a single Hawaii 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 59 of 437 locally, and the state ranks 17 of 51 for it.
- This $72,290 adjusted figure, worked from $108,750, 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 59 of 437 in the state. The occupation ranks 59 of 437 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $115,940, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $66,810 at the bottom tenth to $174,010 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $72,290 of national purchasing power.
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; Hawaii then takes its own share, leaving $78,514.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Hawaii is $115,940. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($66,810) and the ninetieth ($174,010) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Hawaii's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $72,290 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $78,514 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Hawaii 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
