What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Nevada. The middle earner gets $34,230. That is 38 of 51 states, and about 4.47% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against 485 occupations Nevada publishes, this job lands at 453. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $34,230 the take-home is $29,684; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $30,608 would nationally. The average comes to $34,240, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For cleaners of vehicles and equipment, Nevada sits in the lower band at $34,230, ranking 38 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 4.47%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Nevada, this work ranks 453 of 485 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- Post-tax income for cleaners of vehicles and equipment in Nevada, on $34,230, is $29,684 — equivalent to $30,608 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 $34,240 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $34,230. The published range is $25,790 up to $44,120, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $29,684 take-home in Nevada comes from $34,230. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 453 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $30,608 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 453.
- Reported values are medians; for cleaners of vehicles and equipment in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $25,790 to $44,120. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $29,684, from $34,230, assumes a single Nevada filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 453 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 38 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $30,608, worked from $34,230, 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 453 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $25,790 and the top tenth $44,120, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $30,608 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $29,684 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($25,790 to $44,120) 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 $30,608 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 $29,684 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.
