What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Florida pays marketing managers around $142,620 at the midpoint, 24 of 48 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Florida reports, marketing managers comes in at 10 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $142,620 the take-home is $108,747. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $105,118 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $159,010, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For marketing managers the Florida median is $142,620, ranking 24 of 48 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Marketing managers ranks 10 of 493 occupations by median in Florida, 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $108,747 for marketing managers, from $142,620. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $105,118. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $159,010 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of marketing managers in Florida earn under $142,620 and half over. The published range runs $78,250 at the tenth percentile to $261,310 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $108,747 take-home in Florida comes from $142,620. 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 10 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $105,118 uses one figure for the whole of Florida. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 10.
- Figures are distribution medians for marketing managers in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $78,250 to $261,310; 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.
- Retained pay of $108,747, from $142,620, assumes a single Florida 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 10 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 24 of 48 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $105,118, worked from $142,620, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Florida address, on work sitting at 10 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $159,010 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $78,250 at the bottom tenth to $261,310 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $105,118 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $108,747 of this wage reaches your account, because Florida takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release 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 Florida is $159,010. 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 ($78,250) and the ninetieth ($261,310) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $105,118 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $108,747 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
