What this pays, and what it is worth
- New York is one of the better-paying states for facilities managers. The middle earner takes $131,350, which ranks 2 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 23.15% above the national middle.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations New York reports, facilities managers comes in at 43 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $131,350, tax leaves $94,065 — and because New York is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $87,400 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $143,630, since top earners drag the number up.
- New York ranks 2 of 51 states publishing a median for facilities managers, at $131,350 — about 23.15% 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 43 of 493 occupations by median in New York, 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.
- After tax, $94,065 remains from the New York median of $131,350 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $87,400 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $143,630 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in New York earn less than $131,350. The published range is $80,160 up to $215,730, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In New York the take-home figure of $94,065, from $131,350, 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 43 of 493 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $87,400, the adjusted value of that $131,350 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New York. 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 43 of 493 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for facilities managers in New York the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $80,160 to $215,730. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for New York is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $94,065 from $131,350. 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 43 of 493 locally.
- This $87,400 adjusted figure, worked from $131,350, 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 43 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 43 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $143,630, 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 $80,160 at the bottom tenth to $215,730 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New York run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $87,400 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
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; New York then takes its own share, leaving $94,065.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
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 New York is $143,630. 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 ($80,160) and the ninetieth ($215,730) 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?
New York's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $87,400 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 $94,065 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New York 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.
