What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Nevada. The middle earner gets $83,430. That is 42 of 51 states, and about 18.8% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 485 occupations Nevada reports, this job comes in at 109 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $83,430 the take-home is $67,523; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $69,626 would nationally. The average comes to $89,650, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For financial and investment analysts, Nevada sits in the lower band at $83,430, ranking 42 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 18.8%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Financial and investment analysts ranks 109 of 485 occupations by median in Nevada, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Post-tax income for financial and investment analysts in Nevada, on $83,430, is $67,523 — equivalent to $69,626 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 $89,650 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of financial and investment analysts in Nevada earn under $83,430 and half over. The published range runs $62,460 at the tenth percentile to $125,010 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $67,523 take-home in Nevada comes from $83,430. 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 109 of 485.
- Two cautions on $69,626, the adjusted value of that $83,430 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 109 of 485 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for financial and investment analysts in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $62,460 to $125,010; 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 $67,523, from $83,430, 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 109 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 42 of 51 for it.
- This $69,626 adjusted figure, worked from $83,430, 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 109 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 109 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $89,650, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $62,460, the highest tenth $125,010, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $69,626 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $67,523 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 $89,650. 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 ($62,460) and the ninetieth ($125,010) 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 $69,626 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 $67,523 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.
