The middle half of workers earned from $47,060 to $81,800 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.

$4,424 a month
Federal tax $5,423 · FICA $4,847

State tax is not in this figure. State tax for Idaho is not included, because the full 2026 state table for Idaho has not been verified in this build. Treat this figure as before state tax, not as a final take-home figure.

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.
