What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for financial examiners is strong here. Oregon's middle earner gets $94,630, putting the state 13 of 49 — about 0.5% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Oregon this is well-paid work. Of 489 occupations with published figures in the state, financial examiners ranks 114 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $94,630, tax leaves $67,672 — and because Oregon is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $64,621 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $94,330.
- For financial examiners, Oregon sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $94,630, ranking 13 of 49 and running about 0.5% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Ranked against every occupation Oregon publishes a median for, financial examiners sits 114 of 489 — 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.
- After tax, $67,672 remains from the Oregon median of $94,630 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $64,621 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $94,330 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of financial examiners in Oregon earn under $94,630 and half over. The published range runs $63,170 at the tenth percentile to $128,480 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Oregon the take-home figure of $67,672, from $94,630, 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 114 of 489 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $64,621, the adjusted value of that $94,630 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Oregon. 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 114 of 489 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for financial examiners in Oregon, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $63,170 to $128,480; 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 Oregon is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $67,672 from $94,630. 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 114 of 489 locally.
- This $64,621 adjusted figure, worked from $94,630, 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 114 of 489 in the state. The occupation ranks 114 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $63,170 at the bottom tenth to $128,480 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 $64,621 of national purchasing power.
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 Oregon adds its own income tax on top — which is why $67,672 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 49 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($63,170 to $128,480) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Oregon rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Oregon's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $64,621 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 $67,672 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oregon 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.
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.
