What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada sits in the middle of the pack for billing and posting clerks. The median is $47,430, ranking 24 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 342 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $47,430 the take-home is $40,290; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $41,545 would nationally. The average comes to $49,560, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada occupies the middle band for billing and posting clerks: a median of $47,430, ranking 24 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Billing and posting clerks ranks 342 of 485 occupations in Nevada by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Post-tax income for billing and posting clerks in Nevada, on $47,430, is $40,290 — equivalent to $41,545 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
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of billing and posting clerks in Nevada earn under $47,430 and half over. The published range runs $38,960 at the tenth percentile to $61,980 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $40,290, from $47,430, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 342 of 485 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,545, the adjusted value of that $47,430 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 342 of 485 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for billing and posting clerks in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $38,960 to $61,980; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $40,290 from $47,430. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 342 of 485 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $41,545 — the adjusted value of that $47,430 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 342 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $49,560, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $38,960 and the top tenth $61,980, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $41,545 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $40,290 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Nevada is $49,560. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,960 to $61,980) 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 $41,545 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 $40,290 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.
