What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Nevada is 27 of 49 states for this job, with a middle wage of $64,170. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 205 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $64,170 the take-home is $53,741; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $55,414 would nationally. The average comes to $64,440, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada ranks 27 of 49 for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other at $64,170. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other ranks 205 of 485 occupations in Nevada by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Post-tax income for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in Nevada, on $64,170, is $53,741 — equivalent to $55,414 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 $64,440 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $64,170 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $39,150 and the ninetieth is $96,550 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $53,741, worked from $64,170. 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 205 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $55,414 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 205.
- The Nevada median of $64,170 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $39,150 to $96,550. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Nevada take-home of $53,741, on $64,170 for work ranking 205 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 205 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $55,414, worked from $64,170, 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 205 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $39,150 and the top tenth $96,550 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $55,414 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $53,741 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.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 49 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($39,150) and the ninetieth ($96,550) 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 $55,414 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 $53,741 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.
