What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for instructional coordinators is strong here. New York's middle earner gets $80,560, putting the state 16 of 51 — about 4.03% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Instructional coordinators ranks 179 among 493 occupations New York publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $80,560 the take-home is $61,751. But New York costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $57,375 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $85,810, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For instructional coordinators, New York sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $80,560, ranking 16 of 51 and running about 4.03% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 179 of 493 in New York 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and New York income tax is $61,751 for instructional coordinators, from $80,560. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $57,375. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $85,810 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $80,560 as a midpoint for New York, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $50,620 and the ninetieth is $125,880 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $61,751 take-home in New York comes from $80,560. 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 179 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of New York, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $57,375, the adjusted value of that $80,560 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 179 of 493 in the state.
- The New York median of $80,560 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $50,620 to $125,880. 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 $61,751, from $80,560, assumes a single New York 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 179 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 16 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New York, so $57,375 — the adjusted value of that $80,560 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 179 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $85,810, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $50,620 and the top tenth $125,880 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New York run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $57,375 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and New York's own levy, $61,751 remains.
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 New York is $85,810. 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 ($50,620) and the ninetieth ($125,880) 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?
New York's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $57,375 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 $61,751 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New York 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.
