What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $47,900, ranking 36 of 51 states — about 5.35% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 334.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $47,900 you keep $40,668 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $41,934 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $49,280, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nevada ranks 36 of 51 for human resources assistants, except payroll and timekeeping, with a median of $47,900 — about 5.35% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- In Nevada's occupational distribution, human resources assistants, except payroll and timekeeping sits at 334 of 485 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $40,668 after the full tax stack, from $47,900. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $41,934 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $49,280 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $47,900 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $36,500 and the ninetieth is $62,940 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $40,668 take-home in Nevada comes from $47,900. 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 334 of 485.
- Two cautions on $41,934, the adjusted value of that $47,900 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 334 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $47,900 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $36,500 to $62,940. 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 $40,668, from $47,900, 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 334 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 36 of 51 for it.
- This $41,934 adjusted figure, worked from $47,900, 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 334 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 334 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $36,500 at the tenth percentile, $62,940 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 $41,934.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $40,668 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,500 to $62,940) 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 $41,934 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 $40,668 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.
