What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. North Dakota pays instructional coordinators around $75,340 at the midpoint, 28 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Instructional coordinators ranks 134 among 460 occupations North Dakota publishes pay for.
- North Dakota is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $75,340 the take-home is $61,622; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $69,573 would nationally. The average lands at $74,910, below the middle of the range.
- For instructional coordinators the North Dakota median is $75,340, ranking 28 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 134 of 460 in North Dakota 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.
- Post-tax income for instructional coordinators in North Dakota, on $75,340, is $61,622 — equivalent to $69,573 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $74,910 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $75,340 as a midpoint for North Dakota, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $55,770 and the ninetieth is $94,600 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind North Dakota's $61,622, worked from $75,340. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 134 of 460.
- One number stands for prices across all of North Dakota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $69,573, the adjusted value of that $75,340 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 134 of 460 in the state.
- The North Dakota median of $75,340 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $55,770 to $94,600. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The North Dakota take-home of $61,622, on $75,340 for work ranking 134 of 460 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 134 of 460 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for North Dakota, so $69,573 — the adjusted value of that $75,340 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 134 of 460 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $55,770 at the bottom tenth to $94,600 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. North Dakota is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $69,573 in national terms.
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 North Dakota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $61,622 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 ($55,770 to $94,600) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to North Dakota rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
North Dakota'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 $69,573 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 $61,622 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and North Dakota 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.
