What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Vermont pays management analysts a middle wage of $107,520, ranking 8 of 51 states and sitting about 5.56% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Vermont. It ranks 36 out of 453 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $107,520 you keep $79,484 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $82,252 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $113,530, since top earners drag the number up.
- Vermont's median for management analysts is $107,520, about 5.56% above the national figure and 8 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Within Vermont, management analysts ranks 36 of 453 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.
- Retained pay in Vermont is $79,484 after the full tax stack, from $107,520. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $82,252 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $113,530 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Vermont earn less than $107,520. The published range is $67,750 up to $157,130, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $79,484 take-home in Vermont comes from $107,520. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 36 of 453.
- One number stands for prices across all of Vermont, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $82,252, the adjusted value of that $107,520 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 36 of 453 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for management analysts in Vermont the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $67,750 to $157,130. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $79,484, from $107,520, assumes a single Vermont filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 36 of 453 locally, and the state ranks 8 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Vermont, so $82,252 — the adjusted value of that $107,520 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 36 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $113,530, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $67,750, the highest tenth $157,130, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Vermont sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $82,252 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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; Vermont then takes its own share, leaving $79,484.
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 Vermont is $113,530. 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 ($67,750) and the ninetieth ($157,130) 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?
Vermont'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 $82,252 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 $79,484 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
