What this pays, and what it is worth
- West Virginia is among the lower-paying states for facilities managers. The middle earner takes $95,050, ranking 46 of 51 states — about 10.89% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Within West Virginia this is well-paid work. Of 473 occupations with published figures in the state, facilities managers ranks 45 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $95,050 you keep $72,233 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $80,463 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $97,850, since top earners drag the number up.
- West Virginia ranks 46 of 51 for facilities managers, with a median of $95,050 — about 10.89% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Ranked against every occupation West Virginia publishes a median for, facilities managers sits 45 of 473 — 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 in West Virginia is $72,233 after the full tax stack, from $95,050. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $80,463 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $97,850 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of facilities managers in West Virginia earn under $95,050 and half over. The published range runs $53,050 at the tenth percentile to $154,320 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In West Virginia the take-home figure of $72,233, from $95,050, 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 45 of 473 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of West Virginia, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $80,463, the adjusted value of that $95,050 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 45 of 473 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for facilities managers in West Virginia, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $53,050 to $154,320; 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.
- Take-home for West Virginia is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $72,233 from $95,050. 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 45 of 473 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for West Virginia, so $80,463 — the adjusted value of that $95,050 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 45 of 473 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 $53,050 and the top tenth $154,320 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. West Virginia is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $80,463 in national terms.
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 West Virginia adds its own income tax on top — which is why $72,233 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($53,050) and the ninetieth ($154,320) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
West Virginia'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 $80,463 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 $72,233 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and West Virginia 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.
