What this pays, and what it is worth
- Texas sits in the middle of the pack for instructional coordinators. The median is $78,710, ranking 21 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Texas this is well-paid work. Of 493 occupations with published figures in the state, instructional coordinators ranks 123 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $78,710, tax leaves $64,202, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $66,069 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $81,800, since top earners drag the number up.
- Texas occupies the middle band for instructional coordinators: a median of $78,710, ranking 21 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Texas publishes a median for, instructional coordinators sits 123 of 493 — 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.
- Because Texas sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for instructional coordinators — median $78,710 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $64,202 retained, $66,069 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $81,800 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of instructional coordinators in Texas earn under $78,710 and half over. The published range runs $52,490 at the tenth percentile to $106,070 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Texas's $64,202, worked from $78,710. 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 123 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $66,069 uses one figure for the whole of Texas. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 123.
- Figures are distribution medians for instructional coordinators in Texas, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $52,490 to $106,070; 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.
- The Texas take-home of $64,202, on $78,710 for work ranking 123 of 493 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 123 of 493 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $66,069, worked from $78,710, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Texas address, on work sitting at 123 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $81,800 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $52,490 at the bottom tenth to $106,070 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. Texas is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $66,069 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $64,202 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 Texas is $81,800. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($52,490 to $106,070) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Texas rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Texas'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 $66,069 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?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $64,202 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.
