What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. New Hampshire's middle earner gets $51,650, putting the state 16 of 51 — about 6.45% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 326 among 488 occupations New Hampshire publishes pay for.
- New Hampshire is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $51,650 the take-home is $43,681; in national-average money that behaves like $41,464. The average comes to $58,060, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For first-line supervisors of retail sales workers, New Hampshire sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $51,650, ranking 16 of 51 and running about 6.45% 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.
- Position 326 of 488 in New Hampshire places first-line supervisors of retail sales 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.
- Take-home for first-line supervisors of retail sales workers in New Hampshire, on $51,650, is $43,681; deflated by the state's price level, $41,464. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $58,060 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of retail sales workers in New Hampshire earn under $51,650 and half over. The published range runs $36,290 at the tenth percentile to $81,070 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $43,681, from $51,650, 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 326 of 488 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $41,464, the adjusted value of that $51,650 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Hampshire. 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 326 of 488 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of retail sales workers in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,290 to $81,070; 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 New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $43,681 from $51,650. 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 326 of 488 locally.
- This $41,464 adjusted figure, worked from $51,650, 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 326 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 326 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 $58,060 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?
The label is broader than the work. From $36,290 at the bottom tenth to $81,070 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $41,464 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $43,681 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $58,060. 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 ($36,290) and the ninetieth ($81,070) 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 $41,464 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 $43,681 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.
