What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. New Mexico pays management analysts a middle wage of $93,180, 39 of 51 states and about 8.52% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within New Mexico this is well-paid work. Of 485 occupations with published figures in the state, management analysts ranks 78 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where New Mexico does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $93,180 you keep $71,147, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $78,715 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $97,450, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New Mexico's $93,180 median for management analysts places it 39 of 51 states, about 8.52% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Ranked against every occupation New Mexico publishes a median for, management analysts sits 78 of 485 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- After federal, FICA and New Mexico income tax, retained pay for management analysts on $93,180 is $71,147. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $78,715 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 $97,450 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $93,180 as a midpoint for New Mexico, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $58,890 and the ninetieth is $139,480 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In New Mexico the take-home figure of $71,147, from $93,180, 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 78 of 485 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $78,715, the adjusted value of that $93,180 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 78 of 485 locally.
- The New Mexico median of $93,180 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $58,890 to $139,480. 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 $71,147 from $93,180. 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 78 of 485 locally.
- This $78,715 adjusted figure, worked from $93,180, 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 78 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 78 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $97,450, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $58,890 and the top tenth $139,480 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $78,715.
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; New Mexico then takes its own share, leaving $71,147.
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 New Mexico is $97,450. 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 ($58,890) and the ninetieth ($139,480) 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 $78,715 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 $71,147 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.
