What this pays, and what it is worth
- Connecticut is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $76,140, which ranks 15 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 11.94% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 195 among 482 occupations Connecticut publishes pay for.
- Connecticut is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $76,140 the take-home is $58,957; in national-average money that behaves like $56,859. The average comes to $76,280, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Connecticut ranks 15 of 50 states publishing a median for health information technologists and medical registrars, at $76,140 — about 11.94% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Position 195 of 482 in Connecticut places health information technologists and medical registrars 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 health information technologists and medical registrars in Connecticut, on $76,140, is $58,957; deflated by the state's price level, $56,859. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $76,280 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Connecticut earn less than $76,140. The published range is $49,110 up to $109,700, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Connecticut the take-home figure of $58,957, from $76,140, 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 195 of 482 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $56,859 uses one figure for the whole of Connecticut. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 482 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 195.
- Reported values are medians; for health information technologists and medical registrars in Connecticut the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $49,110 to $109,700. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Connecticut is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $58,957 from $76,140. 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 195 of 482 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,859, worked from $76,140, 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 Connecticut address, on work sitting at 195 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $49,110 at the bottom tenth to $109,700 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. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $56,859 rather than its face figure.
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 Connecticut's own levy, $58,957 remains.
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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($49,110) and the ninetieth ($109,700) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $56,859 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 $58,957 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
