What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Arizona is 25 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $49,990. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Against other work in Arizona, this sits in the middle: 301 of 491 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- No great distortion either way. Arizona costs about what the country costs, so from $49,990, take-home of $41,500 is worth roughly $41,046 in national money. The average comes to $51,440, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Arizona ranks 25 of 51 for installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other at $49,990. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other ranks 301 of 491 occupations in Arizona 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.
- Price parity in Arizona is near the national base, so for installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other, whose median is $49,990, the adjusted figure of $41,046 differs little from $41,500 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $51,440 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other in Arizona earn under $49,990 and half over. The published range runs $38,940 at the tenth percentile to $62,610 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Arizona the take-home figure of $41,500, from $49,990, 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 301 of 491 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $41,046, the adjusted value of that $49,990 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Arizona. 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 301 of 491 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other in Arizona, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $38,940 to $62,610; 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 Arizona is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $41,500 from $49,990. 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 301 of 491 locally.
- This $41,046 adjusted figure, worked from $49,990, 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 301 of 491 in the state. The occupation ranks 301 of 491 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $38,940 at the tenth percentile, $62,610 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Arizona run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $41,046 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Arizona adds its own income tax on top — which is why $41,500 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,940 to $62,610) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Arizona rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Arizona's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $41,046 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 $41,500 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Arizona 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
