What the numbers say

Sales Managers in New York earned a median of $214,350 in 2024, about 53% above the national median of $140,418. That gap is large even by the standards of a high-cost state.

The mean annual wage was $251,500, which is $37,150 above the median. A smaller group of top earners pulls that figure up, so the median is the better reference for most people in the role. At the lower end of the range, the 10th percentile came in at $109,440 and the 25th at $161,010. The distance between those two points alone spans more than $50,000, which tells you how much experience, industry, and deal size can shift pay within this occupation.

New York's cost-of-living index sits at 116.4, meaning prices run about 16% higher than the national baseline. After adjusting for that, the effective purchasing power of the state median lands closer to $184,100 in national-dollar terms. That still clears the US median by roughly $44,000, so the premium holds up after the cost adjustment, just not at the full headline size.

BLS projects employment for Sales Managers to grow 4.7% between 2024 and 2034, an average rate nationally. New York accounts for 35,160 jobs in the occupation, one of the larger state totals in the country.
