What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nebraska sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $47,520, ranking 23 of 48 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Nebraska, this sits in the middle: 331 of 488 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Nebraska does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $47,520 you keep $38,904, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $43,046 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $47,630, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nebraska occupies the middle band for coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers: a median of $47,520, ranking 23 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers ranks 331 of 488 occupations in Nebraska 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.
- After federal, FICA and Nebraska income tax, retained pay for coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers on $47,520 is $38,904. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $43,046 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $47,630 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers in Nebraska earn under $47,520 and half over. The published range runs $37,180 at the tenth percentile to $56,800 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $38,904 take-home in Nebraska comes from $47,520. 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 331 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nebraska, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $43,046, the adjusted value of that $47,520 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 331 of 488 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers in Nebraska, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,180 to $56,800; 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.
- Retained pay of $38,904, from $47,520, assumes a single Nebraska 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 331 of 488 locally, and the state ranks 23 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nebraska, so $43,046 — the adjusted value of that $47,520 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 331 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $37,180 at the tenth percentile, $56,800 at the ninetieth.
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 $43,046.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Nebraska's own levy, $38,904 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,180 to $56,800) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Nebraska rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nebraska'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 $43,046 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $38,904 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Nebraska income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
