What this pays, and what it is worth
- Minnesota is one of the better-paying states for procurement clerks. The middle earner takes $58,100, which ranks 4 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 14.87% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Procurement clerks ranks 302 among 490 occupations Minnesota publishes pay for.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $58,100, take-home of $46,436 is worth roughly $47,183 in national money. The average lands at $56,430, below the middle of the range.
- Minnesota ranks 4 of 51 states publishing a median for procurement clerks, at $58,100 — about 14.87% 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 302 of 490 in Minnesota places procurement clerks 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.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for procurement clerks, whose median is $58,100, the adjusted figure of $47,183 differs little from $46,436 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $56,430 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Minnesota earn less than $58,100. The published range is $42,450 up to $68,620, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Minnesota's $46,436, worked from $58,100. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 302 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $47,183, the adjusted value of that $58,100 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 302 of 490 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for procurement clerks in Minnesota the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $42,450 to $68,620. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Minnesota take-home of $46,436, on $58,100 for work ranking 302 of 490 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 302 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $47,183 — the adjusted value of that $58,100 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 302 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $42,450 at the bottom tenth to $68,620 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $47,183 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Minnesota then takes its own share, leaving $46,436.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($42,450 to $68,620) 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 $47,183 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 $46,436 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.
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.
