What this pays, and what it is worth
- Washington is one of the better-paying states for facilities managers. The middle earner takes $139,990, which ranks 1 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 31.25% above the national middle.
- Within Washington this is well-paid work. Of 493 occupations with published figures in the state, facilities managers ranks 33 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $139,990 the take-home is $106,949. But Washington costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $98,514 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $143,770, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Washington ranks 1 of 51 states publishing a median for facilities managers, at $139,990 — about 31.25% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Washington publishes a median for, facilities managers sits 33 of 493 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Washington income tax is $106,949 for facilities managers, from $139,990. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $98,514. ⚠️ 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 $143,770 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of facilities managers in Washington earn under $139,990 and half over. The published range runs $89,200 at the tenth percentile to $207,120 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $106,949 take-home in Washington comes from $139,990. 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 33 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Washington, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $98,514, the adjusted value of that $139,990 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 33 of 493 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for facilities managers in Washington, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $89,200 to $207,120; 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 $106,949, from $139,990, assumes a single Washington 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 33 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 1 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Washington, so $98,514 — the adjusted value of that $139,990 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 33 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $89,200 and the top tenth $207,120 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Washington costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $98,514 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $106,949 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($89,200) and the ninetieth ($207,120) 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?
Washington's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $98,514 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?
Washington levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $106,949 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.
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.
