What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. New Hampshire's middle earner gets $79,860, putting the state 10 of 49 — about 21.39% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 139 among 488 occupations New Hampshire publishes pay for.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $79,860, tax leaves $65,012 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $61,713 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $83,990, since top earners drag the number up.
- For healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other, New Hampshire sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $79,860, ranking 10 of 49 and running about 21.39% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 139 of 488 in New Hampshire places healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other 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.
- After tax, $65,012 remains from the New Hampshire median of $79,860 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $61,713 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $83,990 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in New Hampshire earn under $79,860 and half over. The published range runs $59,340 at the tenth percentile to $121,760 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $65,012, from $79,860, 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 139 of 488 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $61,713 uses one figure for the whole of New Hampshire. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 488 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 139.
- Figures are distribution medians for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $59,340 to $121,760; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $65,012 from $79,860. 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 139 of 488 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $61,713, worked from $79,860, 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 New Hampshire address, on work sitting at 139 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $83,990, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $59,340 and the top tenth $121,760 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $61,713 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $65,012 survives, because New Hampshire levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 49 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 New Hampshire is $83,990. 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 ($59,340) and the ninetieth ($121,760) 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?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $61,713 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $65,012 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
