What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Nevada pays this job around $46,900 at the midpoint, 33 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 350 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $46,900 you keep $39,864, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $41,106 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $52,260, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For first-line supervisors of retail sales workers the Nevada median is $46,900, ranking 33 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Position 350 of 485 in Nevada places first-line supervisors of retail sales workers 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 first-line supervisors of retail sales workers on $46,900 is $39,864. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $41,106 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 $52,260 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $46,900 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $33,360 and the ninetieth is $74,980 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $39,864 take-home in Nevada comes from $46,900. 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 350 of 485.
- Two cautions on $41,106, the adjusted value of that $46,900 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 350 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $46,900 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $33,360 to $74,980. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $39,864, from $46,900, 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 350 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 33 of 51 for it.
- This $41,106 adjusted figure, worked from $46,900, 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 350 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 350 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $52,260 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $33,360 and the top tenth $74,980 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $41,106 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $39,864 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.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $52,260. 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 ($33,360) and the ninetieth ($74,980) 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 $41,106 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 $39,864 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.
