What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for bill and account collectors is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $48,750, putting the state 16 of 51 — about 3.66% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 324.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $48,750 the take-home is $41,351; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $42,638 would nationally. The average comes to $49,560, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For bill and account collectors, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $48,750, ranking 16 of 51 and running about 3.66% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- In Nevada's occupational distribution, bill and account collectors sits at 324 of 485 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Post-tax income for bill and account collectors in Nevada, on $48,750, is $41,351 — equivalent to $42,638 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $49,560 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $48,750. The published range is $37,140 up to $60,520, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $41,351, worked from $48,750. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 324 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $42,638 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 324.
- Reported values are medians; for bill and account collectors in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $37,140 to $60,520. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $41,351, on $48,750 for work ranking 324 of 485 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 324 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $42,638, worked from $48,750, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Nevada address, on work sitting at 324 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $37,140 and the top tenth $60,520, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $42,638.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $41,351 of this wage reaches your account, because Nevada takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,140 to $60,520) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Nevada rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nevada's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $42,638 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $41,351 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
