Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians salary in North Carolina

This is not a guess and it is not a job ad. It is the published BLS figure for clinical laboratory technologists and technicians in North Carolina, where the median was $60,650 a year. I keep the source on every page because a salary number without a source is just a story.

The middle half of workers earned from $47,300 to $77,700 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$4,083 a month

Federal tax $5,098 · FICA $4,640 · State tax $1,911

Caveat: the North Carolina rate is from NCDOR, but the $12,750 deduction comes from the statute text, not an NCDOR deduction page.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
