What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Florida. The middle earner gets $46,290. That is 48 of 51 states, and about 5.97% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 337 among 493 occupations Florida publishes pay for.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $46,290 the take-home is $39,374; in national-average money that behaves like $38,060. The average comes to $48,210, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other, Florida sits in the lower band at $46,290, ranking 48 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 5.97%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 337 of 493 in Florida places installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Take-home for installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other in Florida, on $46,290, is $39,374; deflated by the state's price level, $38,060. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $48,210 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Florida earn less than $46,290. The published range is $36,160 up to $62,760, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Florida the take-home figure of $39,374, from $46,290, 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 337 of 493 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Florida, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $38,060, the adjusted value of that $46,290 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 337 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for installation, maintenance, and repair workers, all other in Florida the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $36,160 to $62,760. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Florida is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $39,374 from $46,290. 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 337 of 493 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Florida, so $38,060 — the adjusted value of that $46,290 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 337 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $48,210 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $36,160 at the tenth percentile, $62,760 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Florida run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $38,060 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $39,374 of this wage reaches your account, because Florida takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
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 Florida is $48,210. 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 ($36,160 to $62,760) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
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 $38,060 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 $39,374 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.
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.
