What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for home appliance repairers is strong here. Florida's middle earner gets $57,280, putting the state 12 of 50 — about 12.34% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations Florida reports figures for, this is number 233.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $57,280 the take-home is $48,204. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $46,596 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is lower, $57,230, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For home appliance repairers, Florida sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $57,280, ranking 12 of 50 and running about 12.34% 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.
- In Florida's occupational distribution, home appliance repairers sits at 233 of 493 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $48,204 for home appliance repairers, from $57,280. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $46,596. ⚠️ 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 $57,230 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of home appliance repairers in Florida earn under $57,280 and half over. The published range runs $34,200 at the tenth percentile to $80,220 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Florida's $48,204, worked from $57,280. 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 233 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Florida, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $46,596, the adjusted value of that $57,280 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 233 of 493 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for home appliance repairers in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $34,200 to $80,220; 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.
- The Florida take-home of $48,204, on $57,280 for work ranking 233 of 493 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 233 of 493 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Florida, so $46,596 — the adjusted value of that $57,280 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 233 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $34,200 at the bottom tenth to $80,220 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $46,596 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $48,204 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($34,200) and the ninetieth ($80,220) 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?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $46,596 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?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $48,204 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.
