What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Alaska is 20 of 51 states for management analysts, with a middle wage of $100,190. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Alaska. It ranks 76 out of 430 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- No great distortion either way. Alaska costs about what the country costs, so from $100,190, take-home of $79,314 is worth roughly $77,976 in national money. The average lands at $99,860, below the middle of the range.
- Alaska ranks 20 of 51 for management analysts at $100,190. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Within Alaska, management analysts ranks 76 of 430 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Price parity in Alaska is near the national base, so for management analysts, whose median is $100,190, the adjusted figure of $77,976 differs little from $79,314 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $99,860 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $100,190 as a midpoint for Alaska, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $48,920 and the ninetieth is $146,870 — 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 Alaska's $79,314, worked from $100,190. 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 76 of 430.
- One number stands for prices across all of Alaska, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $77,976, the adjusted value of that $100,190 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 76 of 430 in the state.
- The Alaska median of $100,190 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $48,920 to $146,870. 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 Alaska take-home of $79,314, on $100,190 for work ranking 76 of 430 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 76 of 430 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Alaska, so $77,976 — the adjusted value of that $100,190 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 76 of 430 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $48,920, the highest tenth $146,870, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Alaska run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $77,976 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $79,314 of this wage reaches your account, because Alaska takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 ($48,920) and the ninetieth ($146,870) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Alaska's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $77,976 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Alaska levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $79,314 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.
