What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. New Hampshire pays procurement clerks a middle wage of $58,830, ranking 3 of 51 states and sitting about 16.31% above the national middle.
- Against other work in New Hampshire, this sits in the middle: 278 of 488 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $58,830, tax leaves $49,450 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $46,941 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $58,960, since top earners drag the number up.
- New Hampshire's median for procurement clerks is $58,830, about 16.31% above the national figure and 3 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Procurement clerks ranks 278 of 488 occupations in New Hampshire 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 tax, $49,450 remains from the New Hampshire median of $58,830 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $46,941 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $58,960 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of procurement clerks in New Hampshire earn under $58,830 and half over. The published range runs $42,820 at the tenth percentile to $77,950 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $49,450 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $58,830. 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 278 of 488.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $46,941 uses one figure for the whole of New Hampshire. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 488 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 278.
- Figures are distribution medians for procurement clerks in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $42,820 to $77,950; 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 $49,450, from $58,830, assumes a single New Hampshire 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 278 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 3 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $46,941, worked from $58,830, 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 New Hampshire address, on work sitting at 278 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $42,820 at the bottom tenth to $77,950 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $46,941 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $49,450 of this wage reaches your account, because New Hampshire takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($42,820 to $77,950) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $46,941 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?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $49,450 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.
