What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for lodging managers is strong here. Connecticut's middle earner gets $76,940, putting the state 15 of 51 — about 11.1% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Lodging managers ranks 188 among 482 occupations Connecticut publishes pay for.
- Connecticut is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $76,940 the take-home is $59,476; in national-average money that behaves like $57,360. The average comes to $82,560, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For lodging managers, Connecticut sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $76,940, ranking 15 of 51 and running about 11.1% 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 188 of 482 in Connecticut places lodging managers 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.
- Take-home for lodging managers in Connecticut, on $76,940, is $59,476; deflated by the state's price level, $57,360. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of lodging managers in Connecticut earn under $76,940 and half over. The published range runs $52,150 at the tenth percentile to $107,430 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $59,476 take-home in Connecticut comes from $76,940. 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 188 of 482.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $57,360, the adjusted value of that $76,940 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 188 of 482 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for lodging managers in Connecticut, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $52,150 to $107,430; 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 $59,476, from $76,940, assumes a single Connecticut 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 188 of 482 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $57,360 — the adjusted value of that $76,940 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 188 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $82,560, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $52,150 at the tenth percentile, $107,430 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $57,360 of national purchasing power.
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 Connecticut's own levy, $59,476 remains.
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.
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 Connecticut is $82,560. 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 ($52,150 to $107,430) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $57,360 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 $59,476 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
