What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. New York's middle earner gets $58,900, putting the state 3 of 51 — about 21.22% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations New York reports figures for, this is number 308.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $58,900, tax leaves $46,923 — and because New York is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $43,598 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $59,560, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of personal service workers, New York sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $58,900, ranking 3 of 51 and running about 21.22% 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.
- In New York's occupational distribution, first-line supervisors of personal service workers sits at 308 of 493 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- After tax, $46,923 remains from the New York median of $58,900 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $43,598 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $59,560 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in New York earn less than $58,900. The published range is $38,020 up to $80,060, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In New York the take-home figure of $46,923, from $58,900, 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 308 of 493 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of New York, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $43,598, the adjusted value of that $58,900 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 308 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of personal service workers in New York the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $38,020 to $80,060. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for New York is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $46,923 from $58,900. 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 308 of 493 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New York, so $43,598 — the adjusted value of that $58,900 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 308 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $38,020 at the bottom tenth to $80,060 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New York run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $43,598 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
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 New York adds its own income tax on top — which is why $46,923 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,020 to $80,060) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New York rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New York's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $43,598 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 $46,923 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New York 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.
