What this pays, and what it is worth
- Minnesota is one of the better-paying states for mechanical door repairers. The middle earner takes $58,870, which ranks 13 of 45 states with published figures. That is about 5.65% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Mechanical door repairers ranks 294 among 490 occupations Minnesota publishes pay for.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $58,870, tax leaves $47,002, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $47,758 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $59,940, since top earners drag the number up.
- Minnesota ranks 13 of 45 states publishing a median for mechanical door repairers, at $58,870 — about 5.65% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Position 294 of 490 in Minnesota places mechanical door repairers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Because Minnesota sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for mechanical door repairers — median $58,870 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $47,002 retained, $47,758 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $59,940 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Minnesota earn less than $58,870. The published range is $51,710 up to $70,810, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $47,002 take-home in Minnesota comes from $58,870. 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 294 of 490.
- Two cautions on $47,758, the adjusted value of that $58,870 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Minnesota. 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 294 of 490 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for mechanical door repairers in Minnesota the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $51,710 to $70,810. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $47,002, from $58,870, assumes a single Minnesota 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 294 of 490 locally, and the state ranks 13 of 45 for it.
- This $47,758 adjusted figure, worked from $58,870, 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 294 of 490 in the state. The occupation ranks 294 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $51,710 at the tenth percentile, $70,810 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Minnesota is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $47,758 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Minnesota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $47,002 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 45 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($51,710 to $70,810) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Minnesota rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota'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 $47,758 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 $47,002 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
