What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. New Hampshire pays surveying and mapping technicians around $57,290 at the midpoint, 22 of 50 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 488 occupations New Hampshire reports figures for, this is number 292.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $57,290, tax leaves $48,213 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $45,766 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $59,700, since top earners drag the number up.
- For surveying and mapping technicians the New Hampshire median is $57,290, ranking 22 of 50 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- In New Hampshire's occupational distribution, surveying and mapping technicians sits at 292 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, $48,213 remains from the New Hampshire median of $57,290 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $45,766 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $59,700 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of surveying and mapping technicians in New Hampshire earn under $57,290 and half over. The published range runs $45,590 at the tenth percentile to $79,070 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $48,213, from $57,290, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 292 of 488 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of New Hampshire, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $45,766, the adjusted value of that $57,290 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 292 of 488 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for surveying and mapping technicians in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $45,590 to $79,070; 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.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $48,213 from $57,290. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 292 of 488 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New Hampshire, so $45,766 — the adjusted value of that $57,290 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 292 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $59,700 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $45,590 at the bottom tenth to $79,070 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $45,766 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $48,213 survives, because New Hampshire levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in New Hampshire is $59,700. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($45,590 to $79,070) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
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 $45,766 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 $48,213 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.
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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
