What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Minnesota pays management analysts around $100,790 at the midpoint, 18 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 490 occupations Minnesota reports, management analysts comes in at 75 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $100,790, take-home of $74,405 is worth roughly $75,602 in national money. The average comes to $107,090, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For management analysts the Minnesota median is $100,790, ranking 18 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Management analysts ranks 75 of 490 occupations by median in Minnesota, 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.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for management analysts, whose median is $100,790, the adjusted figure of $75,602 differs little from $74,405 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $107,090 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $100,790 as a midpoint for Minnesota, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $64,480 and the ninetieth is $162,160 — 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 Minnesota's $74,405, worked from $100,790. 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 75 of 490.
- Two cautions on $75,602, the adjusted value of that $100,790 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Minnesota. 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 75 of 490 locally.
- The Minnesota median of $100,790 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $64,480 to $162,160. 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 Minnesota take-home of $74,405, on $100,790 for work ranking 75 of 490 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 75 of 490 in the state.
- This $75,602 adjusted figure, worked from $100,790, 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 75 of 490 in the state. The occupation ranks 75 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $107,090, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $64,480 at the bottom tenth to $162,160 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Minnesota sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $75,602 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Minnesota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $74,405 of this wage survives to your account.
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 Minnesota is $107,090. 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 ($64,480) and the ninetieth ($162,160) 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?
Minnesota'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 $75,602 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 $74,405 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
