What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Tennessee pays instructional coordinators around $74,390 at the midpoint, 30 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Instructional coordinators ranks 128 among 491 occupations Tennessee publishes pay for.
- Tennessee is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $74,390 the take-home is $61,163; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $66,112 would nationally. The average lands at $72,520, below the middle of the range.
- For instructional coordinators the Tennessee median is $74,390, ranking 30 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 128 of 491 in Tennessee 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 Tennessee, on $74,390, is $61,163 — equivalent to $66,112 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 $72,520 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $74,390 as a midpoint for Tennessee, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $45,030 and the ninetieth is $99,180 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Tennessee the take-home figure of $61,163, from $74,390, 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 128 of 491 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $66,112, the adjusted value of that $74,390 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Tennessee. 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 128 of 491 locally.
- The Tennessee median of $74,390 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $45,030 to $99,180. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Tennessee is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $61,163 from $74,390. 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 128 of 491 locally.
- This $66,112 adjusted figure, worked from $74,390, 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 128 of 491 in the state. The occupation ranks 128 of 491 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 $45,030 and the top tenth $99,180 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Tennessee sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $66,112 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $61,163 survives, because Tennessee levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($45,030) and the ninetieth ($99,180) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Tennessee'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 $66,112 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Tennessee levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $61,163 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.
