What this pays, and what it is worth
- Georgia sits in the middle of the pack for loan interviewers and clerks. The median is $48,310, ranking 33 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Georgia, this sits in the middle: 304 of 492 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Georgia is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $48,310 the take-home is $39,185; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $40,523 would nationally. The average comes to $49,140, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Georgia occupies the middle band for loan interviewers and clerks: a median of $48,310, ranking 33 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Loan interviewers and clerks ranks 304 of 492 occupations in Georgia 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 loan interviewers and clerks in Georgia, on $48,310, is $39,185 — equivalent to $40,523 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 $49,140 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of loan interviewers and clerks in Georgia earn under $48,310 and half over. The published range runs $34,730 at the tenth percentile to $64,690 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $39,185 take-home in Georgia comes from $48,310. 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 304 of 492.
- One number stands for prices across all of Georgia, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $40,523, the adjusted value of that $48,310 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 304 of 492 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for loan interviewers and clerks in Georgia, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $34,730 to $64,690; 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 $39,185, from $48,310, assumes a single Georgia 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 304 of 492 locally, and the state ranks 33 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Georgia, so $40,523 — the adjusted value of that $48,310 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 304 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $34,730 at the tenth percentile, $64,690 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Georgia is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $40,523 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Georgia then takes its own share, leaving $39,185.
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 ($34,730 to $64,690) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Georgia rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Georgia'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 $40,523 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $39,185 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Georgia income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
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.
