What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for managers, all other is on the low side in New Mexico. The middle earner gets $123,550. That is 37 of 51 states, and about 12.93% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Within New Mexico this is well-paid work. Of 485 occupations with published figures in the state, managers, all other ranks 32 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $123,550 you keep $90,989 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $100,668 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $134,970, since top earners drag the number up.
- For managers, all other, New Mexico sits in the lower band at $123,550, ranking 37 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 12.93%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Ranked against every occupation New Mexico publishes a median for, managers, all other sits 32 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.
- Retained pay in New Mexico is $90,989 after the full tax stack, from $123,550. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $100,668 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $134,970 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of managers, all other in New Mexico earn under $123,550 and half over. The published range runs $82,860 at the tenth percentile to $204,330 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Mexico the take-home figure of $90,989, from $123,550, 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 32 of 485 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $100,668, the adjusted value of that $123,550 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 32 of 485 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for managers, all other in New Mexico, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $82,860 to $204,330; 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 New Mexico is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $90,989 from $123,550. 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 32 of 485 locally.
- This $100,668 adjusted figure, worked from $123,550, 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 32 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 32 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 $134,970, 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 $82,860 and the top tenth $204,330 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. New Mexico is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $100,668 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 New Mexico's own levy, $90,989 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 New Mexico is $134,970. 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 ($82,860) and the ninetieth ($204,330) 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 $100,668 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 $90,989 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.
