What this pays, and what it is worth
- Connecticut is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $114,210, which ranks 16 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 6.51% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Connecticut. It ranks 52 out of 482 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $114,210 the take-home is $83,574. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $80,601 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $122,760, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Connecticut ranks 16 of 51 states publishing a median for transportation, storage, and distribution managers, at $114,210 — about 6.51% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Within Connecticut, transportation, storage, and distribution managers ranks 52 of 482 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $83,574 for transportation, storage, and distribution managers, from $114,210. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $80,601. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $122,760 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Connecticut earn less than $114,210. The published range is $68,760 up to $179,230, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $83,574 take-home in Connecticut comes from $114,210. 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 52 of 482.
- Two cautions on $80,601, the adjusted value of that $114,210 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Connecticut. 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 52 of 482 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for transportation, storage, and distribution managers in Connecticut the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $68,760 to $179,230. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $83,574, from $114,210, assumes a single Connecticut 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 52 of 482 locally, and the state ranks 16 of 51 for it.
- This $80,601 adjusted figure, worked from $114,210, 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 52 of 482 in the state. The occupation ranks 52 of 482 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 $122,760 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $68,760 and the top tenth $179,230 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $80,601 rather than its face figure.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Connecticut then takes its own share, leaving $83,574.
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 Connecticut is $122,760. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($68,760) and the ninetieth ($179,230) 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?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $80,601 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $83,574 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
