What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada sits in the middle of the pack for fundraising managers. The median is $106,420, ranking 31 of 48 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Nevada this is well-paid work. Of 485 occupations with published figures in the state, fundraising managers ranks 48 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $106,420 you keep $83,696, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $86,303 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $115,770, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nevada occupies the middle band for fundraising managers: a median of $106,420, ranking 31 of 48. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Nevada publishes a median for, fundraising managers sits 48 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.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for fundraising managers on $106,420 is $83,696. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $86,303 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 $115,770 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $106,420. The published range is $70,610 up to $186,160, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $83,696, worked from $106,420. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 48 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $86,303 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 48.
- Reported values are medians; for fundraising managers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $70,610 to $186,160. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $83,696, on $106,420 for work ranking 48 of 485 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 48 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $86,303, worked from $106,420, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Nevada address, on work sitting at 48 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 $115,770 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 $70,610 and the top tenth $186,160 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $86,303.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $83,696 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 $115,770. 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 ($70,610) and the ninetieth ($186,160) 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 $86,303 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 $83,696 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
