What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Vermont pays industrial production managers a middle wage of $114,150, 40 of 50 states and about 9.45% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Vermont this is well-paid work. Of 453 occupations with published figures in the state, industrial production managers ranks 29 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Vermont is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $114,150 the take-home is $83,711; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $86,626 would nationally. The average comes to $123,620, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Vermont's $114,150 median for industrial production managers places it 40 of 50 states, about 9.45% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Ranked against every occupation Vermont publishes a median for, industrial production managers sits 29 of 453 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Post-tax income for industrial production managers in Vermont, on $114,150, is $83,711 — equivalent to $86,626 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $123,620 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $114,150 as a midpoint for Vermont, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $78,710 and the ninetieth is $175,390 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Vermont the take-home figure of $83,711, from $114,150, 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 29 of 453 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $86,626 uses one figure for the whole of Vermont. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 453 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 29.
- The Vermont median of $114,150 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $78,710 to $175,390. 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 Vermont is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $83,711 from $114,150. 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 29 of 453 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $86,626, worked from $114,150, 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 Vermont address, on work sitting at 29 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $123,620, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $78,710 and the top tenth $175,390 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Vermont is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $86,626 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Vermont then takes its own share, leaving $83,711.
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 Vermont is $123,620. 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 ($78,710) and the ninetieth ($175,390) 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?
Vermont'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 $86,626 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 $83,711 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
