What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Florida is 21 of 51 states for loan interviewers and clerks, with a middle wage of $50,510. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Loan interviewers and clerks ranks 272 among 493 occupations Florida publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $50,510 the take-home is $42,765. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $41,338 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $52,680, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Florida ranks 21 of 51 for loan interviewers and clerks at $50,510. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 272 of 493 in Florida places loan interviewers and clerks 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $42,765 for loan interviewers and clerks, from $50,510. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $41,338. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $52,680 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of loan interviewers and clerks in Florida earn under $50,510 and half over. The published range runs $36,280 at the tenth percentile to $66,410 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $42,765 take-home in Florida comes from $50,510. 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 272 of 493.
- Two cautions on $41,338, the adjusted value of that $50,510 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Florida. 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 272 of 493 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for loan interviewers and clerks in Florida, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,280 to $66,410; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Retained pay of $42,765, from $50,510, assumes a single Florida 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 272 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 21 of 51 for it.
- This $41,338 adjusted figure, worked from $50,510, 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 272 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 272 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $52,680, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $36,280 and the top tenth $66,410, so most people doing this work in Florida sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Florida costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $41,338 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $42,765 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.
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 Florida is $52,680. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,280 to $66,410) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $41,338 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $42,765 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.
