What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Hawaii pays glaziers a middle wage of $80,800, ranking 2 of 50 states and sitting about 41.56% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Glaziers ranks 132 among 437 occupations Hawaii publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $80,800 the take-home is $60,975. But Hawaii costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $56,142 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is lower, $79,630, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Hawaii's median for glaziers is $80,800, about 41.56% above the national figure and 2 of 50 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Position 132 of 437 in Hawaii places glaziers 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Hawaii income tax is $60,975 for glaziers, from $80,800. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,142. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $79,630 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $80,800 as a midpoint for Hawaii, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $51,230 and the ninetieth is $104,950 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Hawaii's $60,975, worked from $80,800. 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 132 of 437.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $56,142 uses one figure for the whole of Hawaii. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 437 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 132.
- The Hawaii median of $80,800 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $51,230 to $104,950. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Hawaii take-home of $60,975, on $80,800 for work ranking 132 of 437 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 132 of 437 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,142, worked from $80,800, 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 Hawaii address, on work sitting at 132 of 437 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $51,230 and the top tenth $104,950, so most people doing this work in Hawaii sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $56,142 of national purchasing power.
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 Hawaii adds its own income tax on top — which is why $60,975 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($51,230 to $104,950) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Hawaii rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Hawaii's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $56,142 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 $60,975 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Hawaii 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
