What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Delaware pays instructional coordinators around $79,290 at the midpoint, 18 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Instructional coordinators ranks 129 among 445 occupations Delaware publishes pay for.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $79,290, tax leaves $60,608, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $61,065 in comparable terms. Here the average runs under the middle, at $77,090.
- For instructional coordinators the Delaware median is $79,290, ranking 18 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Position 129 of 445 in Delaware places instructional coordinators 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.
- Because Delaware sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for instructional coordinators — median $79,290 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $60,608 retained, $61,065 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $77,090 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of instructional coordinators in Delaware earn under $79,290 and half over. The published range runs $49,390 at the tenth percentile to $98,990 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $60,608 take-home in Delaware comes from $79,290. 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 129 of 445.
- Two cautions on $61,065, the adjusted value of that $79,290 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Delaware. 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 129 of 445 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for instructional coordinators in Delaware, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $49,390 to $98,990; 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.
- Retained pay of $60,608, from $79,290, assumes a single Delaware 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 129 of 445 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 51 for it.
- This $61,065 adjusted figure, worked from $79,290, 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 129 of 445 in the state. The occupation ranks 129 of 445 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $49,390 at the bottom tenth to $98,990 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $61,065.
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 Delaware adds its own income tax on top — which is why $60,608 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 ($49,390 to $98,990) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Delaware rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Delaware'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 $61,065 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 $60,608 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Delaware 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.
