What this pays, and what it is worth
- Idaho sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $79,120, ranking 25 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 476 occupations Idaho reports, this job comes in at 107 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $79,120 you keep $61,151 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $66,886 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $81,080, since top earners drag the number up.
- Idaho occupies the middle band for social and community service managers: a median of $79,120, ranking 25 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Social and community service managers ranks 107 of 476 occupations by median in Idaho, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Idaho is $61,151 after the full tax stack, from $79,120. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $66,886 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $81,080 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $79,120 as a midpoint for Idaho, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $52,000 and the ninetieth is $111,550 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $61,151 take-home in Idaho comes from $79,120. 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 107 of 476.
- Two cautions on $66,886, the adjusted value of that $79,120 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Idaho. 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 107 of 476 locally.
- The Idaho median of $79,120 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $52,000 to $111,550. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $61,151, from $79,120, assumes a single Idaho 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 107 of 476 locally, and the state ranks 25 of 51 for it.
- This $66,886 adjusted figure, worked from $79,120, 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 107 of 476 in the state. The occupation ranks 107 of 476 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $52,000 at the bottom tenth to $111,550 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Idaho sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $66,886 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Idaho adds its own income tax on top — which is why $61,151 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($52,000) and the ninetieth ($111,550) 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?
Idaho'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 $66,886 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 $61,151 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
