What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for fundraising managers is on the low side in Idaho. The middle earner gets $87,990. That is 44 of 48 states, and about 29.87% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 476 occupations Idaho reports, fundraising managers comes in at 85 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Idaho is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $87,990 the take-home is $66,921; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $73,197 would nationally. The average comes to $100,880, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For fundraising managers, Idaho sits in the lower band at $87,990, ranking 44 of 48 and trailing the national median by about 29.87%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Fundraising managers ranks 85 of 476 occupations by median in Idaho, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Post-tax income for fundraising managers in Idaho, on $87,990, is $66,921 — equivalent to $73,197 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $100,880 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Idaho earn less than $87,990. The published range is $61,310 up to $164,630, 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 Idaho's $66,921, worked from $87,990. 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 85 of 476.
- Two cautions on $73,197, the adjusted value of that $87,990 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Idaho. 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 85 of 476 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for fundraising managers in Idaho the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $61,310 to $164,630. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Idaho take-home of $66,921, on $87,990 for work ranking 85 of 476 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 85 of 476 in the state.
- This $73,197 adjusted figure, worked from $87,990, 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 85 of 476 in the state. The occupation ranks 85 of 476 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 $100,880 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 $61,310 at the bottom tenth to $164,630 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Idaho sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $73,197 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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, $66,921 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 Idaho is $100,880. 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 ($61,310) and the ninetieth ($164,630) 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?
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 $73,197 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 $66,921 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.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
