What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Idaho pays new accounts clerks around $45,760 at the midpoint, 30 of 45 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against other work in Idaho, this sits in the middle: 335 of 476 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Idaho does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $45,760 you keep $37,376, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $40,882 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $46,160, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For new accounts clerks the Idaho median is $45,760, ranking 30 of 45 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.
- New accounts clerks ranks 335 of 476 occupations in Idaho by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After federal, FICA and Idaho income tax, retained pay for new accounts clerks on $45,760 is $37,376. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $40,882 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 $46,160 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Idaho earn less than $45,760. The published range is $37,270 up to $55,180, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $37,376 take-home in Idaho comes from $45,760. 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 335 of 476.
- Two cautions on $40,882, the adjusted value of that $45,760 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Idaho. 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 335 of 476 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for new accounts clerks in Idaho the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $37,270 to $55,180. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $37,376, from $45,760, assumes a single Idaho 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 335 of 476 locally, and the state ranks 30 of 45 for it.
- This $40,882 adjusted figure, worked from $45,760, 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 335 of 476 in the state. The occupation ranks 335 of 476 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $37,270 at the tenth percentile, $55,180 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $40,882.
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 Idaho's own levy, $37,376 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 45 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,270 to $55,180) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Idaho rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Idaho'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 $40,882 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 $37,376 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
