What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Idaho pays this job around $58,200 at the midpoint, 28 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 224 among 476 occupations Idaho publishes pay for.
- Here is where Idaho does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $58,200 you keep $46,712, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $51,094 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $59,700, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers the Idaho median is $58,200, ranking 28 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Position 224 of 476 in Idaho places first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- After federal, FICA and Idaho income tax, retained pay for first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers on $58,200 is $46,712. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $51,094 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $59,700 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $58,200 as a midpoint for Idaho, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $43,680 and the ninetieth is $79,700 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Idaho the take-home figure of $46,712, from $58,200, 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 224 of 476 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $51,094 uses one figure for the whole of Idaho. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 476 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 224.
- The Idaho median of $58,200 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $43,680 to $79,700. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Idaho is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $46,712 from $58,200. 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 224 of 476 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $51,094, worked from $58,200, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Idaho address, on work sitting at 224 of 476 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $43,680 and the top tenth $79,700, so most people doing this work in Idaho sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Idaho is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $51,094 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Idaho's own levy, $46,712 remains.
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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($43,680 to $79,700) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Idaho rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Idaho'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 $51,094 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 $46,712 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
