What this pays, and what it is worth
- New Hampshire is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $73,250, which ranks 14 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 5.4% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 174 among 488 occupations New Hampshire publishes pay for.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $73,250, tax leaves $60,361 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $57,299 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $76,240, since top earners drag the number up.
- New Hampshire ranks 14 of 51 states publishing a median for first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers, at $73,250 — about 5.4% 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.
- Position 174 of 488 in New Hampshire places first-line supervisors of office and administrative support 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 tax, $60,361 remains from the New Hampshire median of $73,250 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $57,299 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $76,240 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $73,250 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $48,960 and the ninetieth is $107,810 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $60,361, from $73,250, 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 174 of 488 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $57,299 uses one figure for the whole of New Hampshire. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 488 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 174.
- The New Hampshire median of $73,250 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $48,960 to $107,810. 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 New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $60,361 from $73,250. 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 174 of 488 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $57,299, worked from $73,250, 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 New Hampshire address, on work sitting at 174 of 488 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 $76,240 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?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $48,960 and the top tenth $107,810 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $57,299 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $60,361 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?
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 New Hampshire is $76,240. 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 ($48,960) and the ninetieth ($107,810) 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?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $57,299 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?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $60,361 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.
