What this pays, and what it is worth

- Here is where New Mexico does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $98,430 you keep $74,583, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $82,516 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $98,540, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New Mexico ranks 8 of 51 states publishing a median for logisticians, at $98,430 — about 19.57% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Logisticians ranks 67 of 485 occupations by median in New Mexico, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- After federal, FICA and New Mexico income tax, retained pay for logisticians on $98,430 is $74,583. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $82,516 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $98,540 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $98,430 as a midpoint for New Mexico, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $63,190 and the ninetieth is $146,850 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In New Mexico the take-home figure of $74,583, from $98,430, 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 67 of 485 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $82,516, the adjusted value of that $98,430 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Mexico. 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 67 of 485 locally.
- The New Mexico median of $98,430 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $63,190 to $146,850. 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 New Mexico is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $74,583 from $98,430. 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 67 of 485 locally.
- This $82,516 adjusted figure, worked from $98,430, 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 67 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 67 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $63,190 at the bottom tenth to $146,850 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. New Mexico is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $82,516 in national terms.
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 Mexico's own levy, $74,583 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.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($63,190) and the ninetieth ($146,850) 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?
New Mexico'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 $82,516 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 $74,583 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New Mexico 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.
