Technical Writers in Logan

BLS metro-level wage data places Technical Writers pay in Logan, UT-ID at a median of $76,540 per year ($36.80/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $90,390, Logan pays 15% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 50 technical writerss are employed across the Logan MSA in SOC 27-3042.

The Logan pay distribution spans from $47,190 at the 10th percentile to $132,590 at the 90th, a 2.8× 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 $54,610 and the 75th at $80,860, so half of Logan-based technical writerss 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 Logan, UT-ID 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 UT data, and peer-metro comparisons, a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
