What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Oklahoma pays this job a middle wage of $76,440, 31 of 46 states and about 26.5% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Oklahoma this is well-paid work. Of 492 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 110 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Oklahoma does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $76,440 you keep $59,666, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $67,583 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $78,220, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Oklahoma's $76,440 median for web and digital interface designers places it 31 of 46 states, about 26.5% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Oklahoma publishes a median for, web and digital interface designers sits 110 of 492 — 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 federal, FICA and Oklahoma income tax, retained pay for web and digital interface designers on $76,440 is $59,666. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $67,583 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 $78,220 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $76,440 as a midpoint for Oklahoma, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $37,730 and the ninetieth is $120,960 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $59,666 take-home in Oklahoma comes from $76,440. 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 110 of 492.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $67,583 uses one figure for the whole of Oklahoma. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 492 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 110.
- The Oklahoma median of $76,440 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $37,730 to $120,960. 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 $59,666, from $76,440, assumes a single Oklahoma 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 110 of 492 locally, and the state ranks 31 of 46 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $67,583, worked from $76,440, 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 Oklahoma address, on work sitting at 110 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $37,730 and the top tenth $120,960 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Oklahoma is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $67,583 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 Oklahoma adds its own income tax on top — which is why $59,666 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 46 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($37,730) and the ninetieth ($120,960) 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?
Oklahoma'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 $67,583 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 $59,666 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oklahoma 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.
