Editorial commentary

What the numbers say

The median Accountant or Auditor in Indiana earned $77,410 in 2024, about 8% below the US median of $84,407. That gap is real, but it does not tell the whole story.

Indiana's cost of living runs roughly 9% below the national average. After adjusting for what the money actually buys, $77,410 here goes about as far as $84,900 would in a state at the national baseline. On that measure, Indiana pay is close to level with the US figure.

The spread across earners is wide. The bottom 10% of Accountants and Auditors in Indiana earned around $49,810. The top 10% earned $125,160. That is roughly 2.5 times more at the high end than at the low end. The gap mostly reflects experience, specialization, and whether someone works in public accounting, corporate finance, or a smaller regional firm. Entry-level pay is modest; senior and specialized roles push well past six figures.

The average wage of $83,380 sits above the $77,410 median, which tells us a smaller group of higher earners pulls the mean up. The median is the more useful number for someone early in their career.

BLS projects employment in this occupation to grow 4.6% nationally between 2024 and 2034, which it classifies as average growth. We do not have a state-specific projection for Indiana, so we cannot say whether the local market will track that pace or diverge from it.
