What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Connecticut's middle earner gets $91,970, putting the state 11 of 51 — about 14.8% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 122 among 482 occupations Connecticut publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $91,970 the take-home is $69,223. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $66,760 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $93,530, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For radiologic technologists and technicians, Connecticut sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $91,970, ranking 11 of 51 and running about 14.8% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 122 of 482 in Connecticut places radiologic technologists and technicians 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $69,223 for radiologic technologists and technicians, from $91,970. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $66,760. ⚠️ 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 $93,530 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $91,970 as a midpoint for Connecticut, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $68,070 and the ninetieth is $122,760 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Connecticut's $69,223, worked from $91,970. 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 122 of 482.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $66,760 uses one figure for the whole of Connecticut. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 482 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 122.
- The Connecticut median of $91,970 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $68,070 to $122,760. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Connecticut take-home of $69,223, on $91,970 for work ranking 122 of 482 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 122 of 482 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $66,760, worked from $91,970, 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 Connecticut address, on work sitting at 122 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $68,070 at the bottom tenth to $122,760 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. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $66,760 rather than its face figure.
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; Connecticut then takes its own share, leaving $69,223.
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 ($68,070 to $122,760) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $66,760 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $69,223 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
