What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Idaho pays this job a middle wage of $64,250, 41 of 46 states and about 38.22% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 476 occupations Idaho reports figures for, this is number 158.
- Here is where Idaho does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $64,250 you keep $51,253, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $56,060 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $78,600, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Idaho's $64,250 median for web and digital interface designers places it 41 of 46 states, about 38.22% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- In Idaho's occupational distribution, web and digital interface designers sits at 158 of 476 — 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 federal, FICA and Idaho income tax, retained pay for web and digital interface designers on $64,250 is $51,253. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $56,060 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $78,600 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $64,250 as a midpoint for Idaho, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $45,240 and the ninetieth is $129,620 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $51,253 take-home in Idaho comes from $64,250. 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 158 of 476.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $56,060 uses one figure for the whole of Idaho. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 476 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 158.
- The Idaho median of $64,250 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $45,240 to $129,620. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $51,253, from $64,250, assumes a single Idaho 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 158 of 476 locally, and the state ranks 41 of 46 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,060, worked from $64,250, 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 Idaho address, on work sitting at 158 of 476 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 $78,600 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?
The label is broader than the work. From $45,240 at the bottom tenth to $129,620 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Idaho is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $56,060 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Idaho adds its own income tax on top — which is why $51,253 of this wage survives to your account.
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 46 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 Idaho is $78,600. 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 ($45,240) and the ninetieth ($129,620) 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?
Idaho'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 $56,060 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 $51,253 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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 46 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
