Instructional Coordinators Salary

It’s a stretch — at the median salary of $63K, rent takes 34% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $1,437/month. The 30% guideline puts the comfortable ceiling at roughly $1,300/month in rent — so roommates or a 1-bedroom would ease the math significantly.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new instructional coordinators typically earn — is $46K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $2,765/month. At HUD’s $1,437/month FMR, rent would take 52% of that take-home — above the 30% guideline, so a 1-bedroom or shared housing is likely necessary starting out.

Local pay runs 19% below the national median — $63K here vs. $77K nationally.

Arizona pays $63K median vs. the U.S. average of $77K — that’s -19%. After adjusting for local cost of living (RPP 96.41), the purchasing-power equivalent is $65K — below the national median.

The median is $62,620 a year, that works out to about $30 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $46,080, and experienced instructional coordinators can clear $98,910. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $4,232/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,437/month, which eats 34% of your paycheck. That's above the 30% rule of thumb, housing will be a stretch at the median salary, though you can manage with roommates or a smaller place.

Arizona has a Regional Price Parity of 96.41 (100 is the national average). That's below average, your money stretches further here than the raw salary number suggests. After cost-of-living adjustment, the median instructional coordinators salary is worth about $64,952 in national-average purchasing power.

The table above ranks every state by median pay for this role. Keep in mind that the highest-paying states tend to have the highest costs of living, so the top salary doesn't always mean the most money in your pocket.
