What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $107,260, putting the state 4 of 49 — about 37.57% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Nevada this is well-paid work. Of 485 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 46 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $107,260 you keep $84,287 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $86,912 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $109,900, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of correctional officers, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $107,260, ranking 4 of 49 and running about 37.57% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Nevada publishes a median for, first-line supervisors of correctional officers sits 46 of 485 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $84,287 after the full tax stack, from $107,260. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $86,912 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $109,900 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $107,260. The published range is $82,930 up to $139,150, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $84,287 take-home in Nevada comes from $107,260. 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 46 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $86,912, the adjusted value of that $107,260 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 46 of 485 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of correctional officers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $82,930 to $139,150. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $84,287, from $107,260, 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 46 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 4 of 49 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $86,912 — the adjusted value of that $107,260 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 46 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $82,930 at the tenth percentile, $139,150 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 $86,912.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $84,287 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 49 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 ($82,930 to $139,150) 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 $86,912 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 $84,287 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
