What this pays, and what it is worth
- Texas is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $76,820, which ranks 14 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 12.94% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 134 among 493 occupations Texas publishes pay for.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $76,820, tax leaves $62,873, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $64,701 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $78,930, since top earners drag the number up.
- Texas ranks 14 of 50 states publishing a median for health information technologists and medical registrars, at $76,820 — about 12.94% 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 134 of 493 in Texas 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.
- Because Texas sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for health information technologists and medical registrars — median $76,820 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $62,873 retained, $64,701 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $78,930 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $76,820 as a midpoint for Texas, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $39,050 and the ninetieth is $121,070 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Texas the take-home figure of $62,873, from $76,820, 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 134 of 493 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Texas, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $64,701, the adjusted value of that $76,820 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 134 of 493 in the state.
- The Texas median of $76,820 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $39,050 to $121,070. 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 Texas is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $62,873 from $76,820. 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 134 of 493 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Texas, so $64,701 — the adjusted value of that $76,820 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 134 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $39,050 and the top tenth $121,070 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $64,701.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $62,873 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 ($39,050) and the ninetieth ($121,070) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Texas'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 $64,701 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $62,873 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.
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.
