What this pays, and what it is worth
- Connecticut is one of the better-paying states for instructional coordinators. The middle earner takes $96,170, which ranks 5 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 24.19% above the national middle.
- Within Connecticut this is well-paid work. Of 482 occupations with published figures in the state, instructional coordinators ranks 109 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $96,170, tax leaves $71,946 — and because Connecticut is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $69,387 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $95,520.
- Connecticut ranks 5 of 51 states publishing a median for instructional coordinators, at $96,170 — about 24.19% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Ranked against every occupation Connecticut publishes a median for, instructional coordinators sits 109 of 482 — 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.
- After tax, $71,946 remains from the Connecticut median of $96,170 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $69,387 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $95,520 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $96,170 as a midpoint for Connecticut, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $58,820 and the ninetieth is $129,910 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $71,946 take-home in Connecticut comes from $96,170. 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 109 of 482.
- Two cautions on $69,387, the adjusted value of that $96,170 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Connecticut. 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 109 of 482 locally.
- The Connecticut median of $96,170 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $58,820 to $129,910. 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 $71,946, from $96,170, assumes a single Connecticut 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 109 of 482 locally, and the state ranks 5 of 51 for it.
- This $69,387 adjusted figure, worked from $96,170, 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 109 of 482 in the state. The occupation ranks 109 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $58,820 and the top tenth $129,910 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $69,387 of national purchasing power.
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 Connecticut adds its own income tax on top — which is why $71,946 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($58,820) and the ninetieth ($129,910) 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?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $69,387 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 $71,946 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
