What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for medical equipment repairers is on the low side in Florida. The middle earner gets $56,940. That is 41 of 51 states, and about 7.65% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations Florida reports figures for, this is number 238.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $56,940 the take-home is $47,931; in national-average money that behaves like $46,332. The average comes to $60,690, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For medical equipment repairers, Florida sits in the lower band at $56,940, ranking 41 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 7.65%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- In Florida's occupational distribution, medical equipment repairers sits at 238 of 493 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Take-home for medical equipment repairers in Florida, on $56,940, is $47,931; deflated by the state's price level, $46,332. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $60,690 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of medical equipment repairers in Florida earn under $56,940 and half over. The published range runs $37,560 at the tenth percentile to $96,800 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Florida the take-home figure of $47,931, from $56,940, 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 238 of 493 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $46,332, the adjusted value of that $56,940 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 238 of 493 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for medical equipment repairers in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,560 to $96,800; 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 Florida is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $47,931 from $56,940. 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 238 of 493 locally.
- This $46,332 adjusted figure, worked from $56,940, 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 238 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 238 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 $60,690 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 $37,560 at the bottom tenth to $96,800 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 $46,332 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $47,931 survives, because Florida levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like 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 $60,690. 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 ($37,560) and the ninetieth ($96,800) 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 $46,332 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 $47,931 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.
