What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for management analysts is on the low side in Idaho. The middle earner gets $88,710. That is 41 of 51 states, and about 12.91% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 476 occupations Idaho reports, management analysts comes in at 82 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Idaho is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $88,710 the take-home is $67,389; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $73,710 would nationally. The average comes to $93,140, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For management analysts, Idaho sits in the lower band at $88,710, ranking 41 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 12.91%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Management analysts ranks 82 of 476 occupations by median in Idaho, 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.
- Post-tax income for management analysts in Idaho, on $88,710, is $67,389 — equivalent to $73,710 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $93,140 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $88,710 as a midpoint for Idaho, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $48,360 and the ninetieth is $149,140 — 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 Idaho's $67,389, worked from $88,710. 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 82 of 476.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $73,710 uses one figure for the whole of Idaho. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 476 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 82.
- The Idaho median of $88,710 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $48,360 to $149,140. 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 Idaho take-home of $67,389, on $88,710 for work ranking 82 of 476 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 82 of 476 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $73,710, worked from $88,710, 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 Idaho address, on work sitting at 82 of 476 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 $93,140 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $48,360 at the bottom tenth to $149,140 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. Idaho is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $73,710 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 Idaho's own levy, $67,389 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.
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 Idaho is $93,140. 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 ($48,360) and the ninetieth ($149,140) 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?
Idaho'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 $73,710 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 $67,389 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
