What this pays, and what it is worth
- Hawaii is one of the better-paying states for management analysts. The middle earner takes $101,750, which ranks 15 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 0.11% above the national middle.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 437 occupations Hawaii reports, management analysts comes in at 74 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $101,750 the take-home is $74,121. But Hawaii costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $68,246 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $107,960, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Hawaii ranks 15 of 51 states publishing a median for management analysts, at $101,750 — about 0.11% 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.
- Management analysts ranks 74 of 437 occupations by median in Hawaii, 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Hawaii income tax is $74,121 for management analysts, from $101,750. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $68,246. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $107,960 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of management analysts in Hawaii earn under $101,750 and half over. The published range runs $66,060 at the tenth percentile to $156,000 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Hawaii the take-home figure of $74,121, from $101,750, 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 74 of 437 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $68,246 uses one figure for the whole of Hawaii. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 437 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 74.
- Figures are distribution medians for management analysts in Hawaii, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $66,060 to $156,000; 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.
- Take-home for Hawaii is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $74,121 from $101,750. 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 74 of 437 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $68,246, worked from $101,750, 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 Hawaii address, on work sitting at 74 of 437 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $107,960, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $66,060 at the bottom tenth to $156,000 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Hawaii costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $68,246 rather than its face figure.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Hawaii then takes its own share, leaving $74,121.
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 Hawaii is $107,960. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($66,060) and the ninetieth ($156,000) 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?
Hawaii's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $68,246 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 $74,121 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Hawaii 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.
