What this pays, and what it is worth
- Indiana is among the lower-paying states for managers, all other. The middle earner takes $79,900, ranking 51 of 51 states — about 43.69% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Indiana reports, managers, all other comes in at 105 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Here is where Indiana does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $79,900 you keep $62,712, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $68,029 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $99,420, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Indiana ranks 51 of 51 for managers, all other, with a median of $79,900 — about 43.69% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Managers, all other ranks 105 of 493 occupations by median in Indiana, 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.
- After federal, FICA and Indiana income tax, retained pay for managers, all other on $79,900 is $62,712. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $68,029 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 $99,420 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of managers, all other in Indiana earn under $79,900 and half over. The published range runs $48,730 at the tenth percentile to $173,890 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Indiana the take-home figure of $62,712, from $79,900, 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 105 of 493 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Indiana, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $68,029, the adjusted value of that $79,900 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 105 of 493 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for managers, all other in Indiana, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $48,730 to $173,890; 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 Indiana is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $62,712 from $79,900. 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 105 of 493 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Indiana, so $68,029 — the adjusted value of that $79,900 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 105 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $99,420, 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 $48,730 at the bottom tenth to $173,890 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. Indiana is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $68,029 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 Indiana's own levy, $62,712 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 Indiana is $99,420. 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 ($48,730) and the ninetieth ($173,890) 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?
Indiana'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 $68,029 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 $62,712 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Indiana 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.
