What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for residential advisors is strong here. New Hampshire's middle earner gets $49,010, putting the state 1 of 51 — about 16.03% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 488 occupations New Hampshire reports figures for, this is number 354.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $49,010, tax leaves $41,560 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $39,451 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $50,170, since top earners drag the number up.
- For residential advisors, New Hampshire sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $49,010, ranking 1 of 51 and running about 16.03% 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.
- In New Hampshire's occupational distribution, residential advisors sits at 354 of 488 — 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 tax, $41,560 remains from the New Hampshire median of $49,010 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $39,451 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $50,170 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of residential advisors in New Hampshire earn under $49,010 and half over. The published range runs $32,940 at the tenth percentile to $69,990 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $41,560 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $49,010. 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 354 of 488.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $39,451 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 354.
- Figures are distribution medians for residential advisors in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $32,940 to $69,990; 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 $41,560, from $49,010, 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 354 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 1 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $39,451, worked from $49,010, 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 354 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $32,940 at the bottom tenth to $69,990 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $39,451 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $41,560 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?
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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($32,940) and the ninetieth ($69,990) 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.
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 $39,451 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 $41,560 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.
