What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for tutors is strong here. New Hampshire's middle earner gets $53,790, putting the state 5 of 50 — about 24.08% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in New Hampshire, this sits in the middle: 314 of 488 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $53,790 the take-home is $45,400. But New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $43,097 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $54,720, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For tutors, New Hampshire sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $53,790, ranking 5 of 50 and running about 24.08% 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.
- Tutors ranks 314 of 488 occupations in New Hampshire by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and New Hampshire income tax is $45,400 for tutors, from $53,790. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $43,097. ⚠️ 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 $54,720 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $53,790 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,670 and the ninetieth is $74,160 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind New Hampshire's $45,400, worked from $53,790. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 314 of 488.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $43,097 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 314.
- The New Hampshire median of $53,790 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,670 to $74,160. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The New Hampshire take-home of $45,400, on $53,790 for work ranking 314 of 488 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 314 of 488 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $43,097, worked from $53,790, 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 314 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $35,670 and the top tenth $74,160, so most people doing this work in New Hampshire sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $43,097 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $45,400 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,670 to $74,160) 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 $43,097 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 $45,400 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.
