BLS metro-level wage data places Computer and Information Systems Managers pay in Lewiston-Auburn, ME at a median of $138,050 per year ($66.37/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $175,140, Lewiston-Auburn pays 21% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 70 computer and information systems managerss are employed across the Lewiston-Auburn MSA in SOC 11-3021.

The Lewiston-Auburn pay distribution spans from $95,940 at the 10th percentile to $203,410 at the 90th — a 2.1× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $115,290 and the 75th at $181,420, so half of Lewiston-Auburn-based computer and information systems managerss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Lewiston-Auburn, ME covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide ME data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
