What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Kansas. The middle earner gets $92,840. That is 42 of 51 states, and about 12.22% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Within Kansas this is well-paid work. Of 488 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 69 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Kansas is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $92,840 the take-home is $69,251; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $76,976 would nationally. The average comes to $114,720, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For general and operations managers, Kansas sits in the lower band at $92,840, ranking 42 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 12.22%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Ranked against every occupation Kansas publishes a median for, general and operations managers sits 69 of 488 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Post-tax income for general and operations managers in Kansas, on $92,840, is $69,251 — equivalent to $76,976 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 $114,720 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $92,840 as a midpoint for Kansas, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $51,780 and the ninetieth is $212,700 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Kansas the take-home figure of $69,251, from $92,840, 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 69 of 488 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $76,976, the adjusted value of that $92,840 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Kansas. 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 69 of 488 locally.
- The Kansas median of $92,840 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $51,780 to $212,700. 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 Kansas is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $69,251 from $92,840. 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 69 of 488 locally.
- This $76,976 adjusted figure, worked from $92,840, 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 69 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 69 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $114,720, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $51,780 and the top tenth $212,700 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Kansas sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $76,976 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Kansas then takes its own share, leaving $69,251.
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 Kansas is $114,720. 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 ($51,780) and the ninetieth ($212,700) 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?
Kansas'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 $76,976 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 $69,251 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Kansas 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.
