- Indiana's median for statisticians is $109,300, about 3.45% above the national figure and 14 of 45 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.

- Retained pay in Indiana is $82,528 after the full tax stack, from $109,300. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $89,525 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $109,110 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Indiana earn less than $109,300. The published range is $40,340 up to $180,010, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $82,528 take-home in Indiana comes from $109,300. 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 29 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Indiana, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $89,525, the adjusted value of that $109,300 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 29 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for statisticians in Indiana the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $40,340 to $180,010. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $82,528, from $109,300, assumes a single Indiana 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 29 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 14 of 45 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Indiana, so $89,525 — the adjusted value of that $109,300 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 29 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $40,340 at the bottom tenth to $180,010 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $89,525.
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 Indiana's own levy, $82,528 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 45 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($40,340) and the ninetieth ($180,010) 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?
Indiana'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 $89,525 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 $82,528 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Indiana 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.
