What this pays, and what it is worth
- Indiana is among the lower-paying states for loan interviewers and clerks. The middle earner takes $47,310, ranking 41 of 51 states — about 5.42% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations Indiana reports figures for, this is number 340.
- Indiana is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $47,310 the take-home is $38,827; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $42,119 would nationally. The average comes to $47,690, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Indiana ranks 41 of 51 for loan interviewers and clerks, with a median of $47,310 — about 5.42% 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 Indiana's occupational distribution, loan interviewers and clerks sits at 340 of 493 — 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.
- Post-tax income for loan interviewers and clerks in Indiana, on $47,310, is $38,827 — equivalent to $42,119 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 $47,690 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 Indiana earn under $47,310 and half over. The published range runs $36,080 at the tenth percentile to $60,540 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $38,827 take-home in Indiana comes from $47,310. 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 340 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Indiana, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $42,119, the adjusted value of that $47,310 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 340 of 493 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for loan interviewers and clerks in Indiana, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,080 to $60,540; 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 $38,827, from $47,310, assumes a single Indiana 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 340 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 41 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Indiana, so $42,119 — the adjusted value of that $47,310 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 340 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $36,080 at the bottom tenth to $60,540 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Indiana is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $42,119 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Indiana adds its own income tax on top — which is why $38,827 of this wage survives to your account.
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 ($36,080 to $60,540) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Indiana rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Indiana'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 $42,119 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 $38,827 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Indiana 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.
