You might see a bigger number on a job board. Job boards show what employers post, not what workers actually earn. BLS surveyed real employment for claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators in Massachusetts and found a median of $83,740 a year, and that survey figure is the one I trust here.

What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$63,774 a year
$5,315 a month
Federal tax $9,593 · FICA $6,406 · State tax $3,967

Caveat: the Massachusetts figure excludes the optional Social Security and Medicare deduction, worth up to $100 of tax.

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.
