What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida is among the lower-paying states for procurement clerks. The middle earner takes $48,710, ranking 39 of 51 states — about 3.7% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations Florida reports figures for, this is number 293.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $48,710 the take-home is $41,318. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $39,940 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $49,960, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Florida ranks 39 of 51 for procurement clerks, with a median of $48,710 — about 3.7% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- In Florida's occupational distribution, procurement clerks sits at 293 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $41,318 for procurement clerks, from $48,710. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $39,940. ⚠️ 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 $49,960 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of procurement clerks in Florida earn under $48,710 and half over. The published range runs $37,990 at the tenth percentile to $62,650 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $41,318 take-home in Florida comes from $48,710. 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 293 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $39,940 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 293.
- Figures are distribution medians for procurement clerks in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,990 to $62,650; 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 $41,318, from $48,710, 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 293 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 39 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $39,940, worked from $48,710, 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 293 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,990 at the bottom tenth to $62,650 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Florida run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $39,940 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $41,318 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?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,990 to $62,650) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
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 $39,940 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 $41,318 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.
