What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for home appliance repairers is strong here. Illinois's middle earner gets $56,860, putting the state 13 of 50 — about 11.51% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 494 occupations Illinois reports figures for, this is number 293.
- No great distortion either way. Illinois costs about what the country costs, so from $56,860, take-home of $45,197 is worth roughly $45,721 in national money. The average comes to $58,710, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For home appliance repairers, Illinois sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $56,860, ranking 13 of 50 and running about 11.51% 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 Illinois's occupational distribution, home appliance repairers sits at 293 of 494 — 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.
- Price parity in Illinois is near the national base, so for home appliance repairers, whose median is $56,860, the adjusted figure of $45,721 differs little from $45,197 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $58,710 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Illinois earn less than $56,860. The published range is $37,630 up to $78,370, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Illinois the take-home figure of $45,197, from $56,860, 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 293 of 494 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Illinois, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $45,721, the adjusted value of that $56,860 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 293 of 494 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for home appliance repairers in Illinois the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $37,630 to $78,370. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Illinois is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $45,197 from $56,860. 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 293 of 494 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Illinois, so $45,721 — the adjusted value of that $56,860 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 293 of 494 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 $58,710, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,630 at the bottom tenth to $78,370 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Illinois sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $45,721 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Illinois's own levy, $45,197 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.
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 Illinois is $58,710. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,630 to $78,370) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Illinois rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Illinois'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 $45,721 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $45,197 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Illinois 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.
