What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Nevada pays this job a middle wage of $65,250, ranking 1 of 47 states and sitting about 15.38% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 196 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $65,250 you keep $54,608 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $56,309 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $63,540.
- Nevada's median for farm equipment mechanics and service technicians is $65,250, about 15.38% above the national figure and 1 of 47 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Position 196 of 485 in Nevada places farm equipment mechanics and service technicians 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.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $54,608 after the full tax stack, from $65,250. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,309 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $63,540 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $65,250. The published range is $49,380 up to $91,170, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $54,608, from $65,250, 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 196 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 $56,309, the adjusted value of that $65,250 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 196 of 485 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for farm equipment mechanics and service technicians in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $49,380 to $91,170. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $54,608 from $65,250. 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 196 of 485 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $56,309 — the adjusted value of that $65,250 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 196 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $49,380 at the tenth percentile, $91,170 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 $56,309.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $54,608 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 47 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($49,380 to $91,170) 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 $56,309 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 $54,608 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 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
