What this pays, and what it is worth
- Ohio sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $54,350, ranking 22 of 45 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 494 occupations Ohio reports figures for, this is number 270.
- Here is where Ohio does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $54,350 you keep $45,072, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $49,092 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $54,410, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Ohio occupies the middle band for recreational vehicle service technicians: a median of $54,350, ranking 22 of 45. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- In Ohio's occupational distribution, recreational vehicle service technicians sits at 270 of 494 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- After federal, FICA and Ohio income tax, retained pay for recreational vehicle service technicians on $54,350 is $45,072. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $49,092 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 $54,410 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Ohio earn less than $54,350. The published range is $30,470 up to $77,680, 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 Ohio's $45,072, worked from $54,350. 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 270 of 494.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $49,092 uses one figure for the whole of Ohio. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 494 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 270.
- Reported values are medians; for recreational vehicle service technicians in Ohio the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $30,470 to $77,680. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Ohio take-home of $45,072, on $54,350 for work ranking 270 of 494 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 270 of 494 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $49,092, worked from $54,350, 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 Ohio address, on work sitting at 270 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $30,470 at the bottom tenth to $77,680 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $49,092 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Ohio's own levy, $45,072 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 45 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($30,470) and the ninetieth ($77,680) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $49,092 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 $45,072 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.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
