What this pays, and what it is worth
- Ohio sits in the middle of the pack for managers, all other. The median is $129,940, ranking 27 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Ohio this is well-paid work. Of 494 occupations with published figures in the state, managers, all other ranks 23 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Ohio does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $129,940 you keep $97,223, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $105,894 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $135,980, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Ohio occupies the middle band for managers, all other: a median of $129,940, ranking 27 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Ohio publishes a median for, managers, all other sits 23 of 494 — 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 Ohio income tax, retained pay for managers, all other on $129,940 is $97,223. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $105,894 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 $135,980 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $129,940 as a midpoint for Ohio, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $65,770 and the ninetieth is $211,540 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $97,223 take-home in Ohio comes from $129,940. 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 23 of 494.
- Two cautions on $105,894, the adjusted value of that $129,940 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Ohio. 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 23 of 494 locally.
- The Ohio median of $129,940 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $65,770 to $211,540. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $97,223, from $129,940, assumes a single Ohio 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 23 of 494 locally, and the state ranks 27 of 51 for it.
- This $105,894 adjusted figure, worked from $129,940, 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 23 of 494 in the state. The occupation ranks 23 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $135,980, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $65,770 and the top tenth $211,540 — 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. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $105,894 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 Ohio's own levy, $97,223 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 Ohio is $135,980. 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 ($65,770) and the ninetieth ($211,540) 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?
Ohio'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 $105,894 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 $97,223 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
