What this pays, and what it is worth
- Ohio sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $81,720, ranking 27 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Ohio. It ranks 96 out of 494 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $81,720 you keep $64,789 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $70,567 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $94,010, since top earners drag the number up.
- Ohio occupies the middle band for first-line supervisors of non-retail sales workers: a median of $81,720, ranking 27 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Within Ohio, first-line supervisors of non-retail sales workers ranks 96 of 494 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay in Ohio is $64,789 after the full tax stack, from $81,720. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $70,567 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $94,010 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Ohio earn less than $81,720. The published range is $48,030 up to $159,460, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Ohio's $64,789, worked from $81,720. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 96 of 494.
- One number stands for prices across all of Ohio, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $70,567, the adjusted value of that $81,720 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 96 of 494 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of non-retail sales workers in Ohio the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $48,030 to $159,460. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Ohio take-home of $64,789, on $81,720 for work ranking 96 of 494 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 96 of 494 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Ohio, so $70,567 — the adjusted value of that $81,720 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 96 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $94,010 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $48,030, the highest tenth $159,460, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $70,567 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 Ohio adds its own income tax on top — which is why $64,789 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.
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 Ohio is $94,010. 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 ($48,030) and the ninetieth ($159,460) 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?
Ohio'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 $70,567 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 $64,789 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
