What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $51,210, putting the state 11 of 48 — about 7.92% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 300 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $51,210 you keep $43,327, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $44,676 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $53,350, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $51,210, ranking 11 of 48 and running about 7.92% 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.
- Position 300 of 485 in Nevada places coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers on $51,210 is $43,327. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $44,676 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 $53,350 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $51,210 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $31,250 and the ninetieth is $78,420 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $43,327, from $51,210, 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 300 of 485 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $44,676, the adjusted value of that $51,210 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 300 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $51,210 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $31,250 to $78,420. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $43,327 from $51,210. 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 300 of 485 locally.
- This $44,676 adjusted figure, worked from $51,210, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 300 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 300 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 $53,350, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $31,250 and the top tenth $78,420 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $44,676.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $43,327 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.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 $53,350. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($31,250) and the ninetieth ($78,420) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $44,676 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 $43,327 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.
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.
