What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Ohio is 28 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $78,320. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Within Ohio this is well-paid work. Of 494 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 122 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Ohio does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $78,320 you keep $62,491, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $68,064 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $76,890, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Ohio ranks 28 of 51 for radiologic technologists and technicians at $78,320. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Ranked against every occupation Ohio publishes a median for, radiologic technologists and technicians sits 122 of 494 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- After federal, FICA and Ohio income tax, retained pay for radiologic technologists and technicians on $78,320 is $62,491. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $68,064 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $76,890 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Ohio earn less than $78,320. The published range is $60,360 up to $98,450, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $62,491 take-home in Ohio comes from $78,320. 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 122 of 494.
- Two cautions on $68,064, the adjusted value of that $78,320 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Ohio. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 122 of 494 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for radiologic technologists and technicians in Ohio the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $60,360 to $98,450. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $62,491, from $78,320, assumes a single Ohio 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 122 of 494 locally, and the state ranks 28 of 51 for it.
- This $68,064 adjusted figure, worked from $78,320, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 122 of 494 in the state. The occupation ranks 122 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $60,360 at the bottom tenth to $98,450 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Ohio sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $68,064 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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; Ohio then takes its own share, leaving $62,491.
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 ($60,360 to $98,450) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Ohio rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Ohio'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 $68,064 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 $62,491 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
