What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. New Hampshire pays production workers, all other a middle wage of $47,620, ranking 4 of 51 states and sitting about 18.72% above the national middle.
- Within New Hampshire this is lower-paid work. Of 488 occupations the state publishes figures for, production workers, all other ranks 378. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $47,620, tax leaves $40,443 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $38,391 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $48,590, since top earners drag the number up.
- New Hampshire's median for production workers, all other is $47,620, about 18.72% above the national figure and 4 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.
- Against every occupation New Hampshire reports, production workers, all other ranks 378 of 488, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- After tax, $40,443 remains from the New Hampshire median of $47,620 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $38,391 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $48,590 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of production workers, all other in New Hampshire earn under $47,620 and half over. The published range runs $36,920 at the tenth percentile to $64,040 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $40,443 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $47,620. 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 378 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of New Hampshire, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $38,391, the adjusted value of that $47,620 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 378 of 488 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for production workers, all other in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,920 to $64,040; 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 $40,443, from $47,620, 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 378 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 4 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New Hampshire, so $38,391 — the adjusted value of that $47,620 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 378 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $36,920 at the bottom tenth to $64,040 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $38,391 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $40,443 survives, because New Hampshire 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?
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 ($36,920 to $64,040) 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 $38,391 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 $40,443 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.
