What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. New Hampshire's middle earner gets $86,050, putting the state 2 of 51 — about 24.21% ahead of the national figure.
- Within New Hampshire this is well-paid work. Of 488 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 102 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $86,050, tax leaves $69,366 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $65,847 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $80,700.
- For training and development specialists, New Hampshire sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $86,050, ranking 2 of 51 and running about 24.21% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation New Hampshire publishes a median for, training and development specialists sits 102 of 488 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- After tax, $69,366 remains from the New Hampshire median of $86,050 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $65,847 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $80,700 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $86,050 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $50,790 and the ninetieth is $100,580 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In New Hampshire the take-home figure of $69,366, from $86,050, 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 102 of 488 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $65,847 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 102.
- The New Hampshire median of $86,050 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $50,790 to $100,580. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for New Hampshire is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $69,366 from $86,050. 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 102 of 488 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $65,847, worked from $86,050, 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 102 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $80,700, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $50,790 at the tenth percentile, $100,580 at the ninetieth.
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 $65,847 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $69,366 survives, because New Hampshire levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $80,700. 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 ($50,790 to $100,580) 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 $65,847 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 $69,366 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.
