What this pays, and what it is worth
- Oregon sits in the middle of the pack for home appliance repairers. The median is $51,160, ranking 21 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Oregon, this sits in the middle: 344 of 489 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Oregon is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $51,160 the take-home is $39,361; in national-average money that behaves like $37,586. The average comes to $55,400, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Oregon occupies the middle band for home appliance repairers: a median of $51,160, ranking 21 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Home appliance repairers ranks 344 of 489 occupations in Oregon by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Take-home for home appliance repairers in Oregon, on $51,160, is $39,361; deflated by the state's price level, $37,586. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $55,400 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $51,160 as a midpoint for Oregon, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $37,300 and the ninetieth is $77,490 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $39,361 take-home in Oregon comes from $51,160. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 344 of 489.
- Two cautions on $37,586, the adjusted value of that $51,160 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Oregon. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 344 of 489 locally.
- The Oregon median of $51,160 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $37,300 to $77,490. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $39,361, from $51,160, assumes a single Oregon filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 344 of 489 locally, and the state ranks 21 of 50 for it.
- This $37,586 adjusted figure, worked from $51,160, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 344 of 489 in the state. The occupation ranks 344 of 489 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 $55,400, 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?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $37,300, the highest tenth $77,490, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $37,586 of national purchasing power.
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 Oregon's own levy, $39,361 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 Oregon is $55,400. 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 ($37,300) and the ninetieth ($77,490) 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?
Oregon's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $37,586 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 $39,361 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oregon 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.
