What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $120,360, ranking 23 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Florida this is well-paid work. Of 493 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 26 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $120,360 the take-home is $93,503; in national-average money that behaves like $90,383. The average comes to $135,410, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Florida occupies the middle band for medical and health services managers: a median of $120,360, ranking 23 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 Florida publishes a median for, medical and health services managers sits 26 of 493 — 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.
- Take-home for medical and health services managers in Florida, on $120,360, is $93,503; deflated by the state's price level, $90,383. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $135,410 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Florida earn less than $120,360. The published range is $69,910 up to $213,260, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Florida the take-home figure of $93,503, from $120,360, 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 26 of 493 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $90,383, the adjusted value of that $120,360 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Florida. 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 26 of 493 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for medical and health services managers in Florida the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $69,910 to $213,260. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Florida is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $93,503 from $120,360. 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 26 of 493 locally.
- This $90,383 adjusted figure, worked from $120,360, 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 26 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 26 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 $135,410 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 $69,910 at the bottom tenth to $213,260 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Florida costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $90,383 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $93,503 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 Florida is $135,410. 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 ($69,910) and the ninetieth ($213,260) 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 $90,383 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 $93,503 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.
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.
