- Nevada's median for floral designers is $39,600, about 6% above the national figure and 15 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $39,600 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $29,570 and the ninetieth is $50,320 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $33,999 take-home in Nevada comes from $39,600. 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 401 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $35,057, the adjusted value of that $39,600 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 401 of 485 in the state.
- The Nevada median of $39,600 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $29,570 to $50,320. 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 $33,999, from $39,600, 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 401 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $35,057 — the adjusted value of that $39,600 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 401 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $29,570 at the bottom tenth to $50,320 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $35,057.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $33,999 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?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($29,570 to $50,320) 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 $35,057 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 $33,999 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.
