High paying jobs in Boise City, ID

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Boise City, ID. The percentile range matters more than the median on its own: it shows what the bottom and top of each field actually earn, which a single average hides.

Cost of living: prices in Boise City, ID run 1.6% below the national average (2024), so a Boise City, ID salary is worth about 1.02× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
