- This is a good state for the work. New York pays loan interviewers and clerks a middle wage of $58,120, ranking 7 of 51 states and sitting about 16.19% above the national middle.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 493 occupations New York reports figures for, this is number 316.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $58,120 the take-home is $46,338. But New York costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $43,055 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $58,920, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New York's median for loan interviewers and clerks is $58,120, about 16.19% above the national figure and 7 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- In New York's occupational distribution, loan interviewers and clerks sits at 316 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and New York income tax is $46,338 for loan interviewers and clerks, from $58,120. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $43,055. ⚠️ 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 $58,920 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $58,120 as a midpoint for New York, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $44,450 and the ninetieth is $77,100 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In New York the take-home figure of $46,338, from $58,120, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 316 of 493 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $43,055, the adjusted value of that $58,120 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New York. 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 316 of 493 locally.
- The New York median of $58,120 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $44,450 to $77,100. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for New York is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $46,338 from $58,120. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 316 of 493 locally.
- This $43,055 adjusted figure, worked from $58,120, 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 316 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 316 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $44,450 and the top tenth $77,100, so most people doing this work in New York sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in New York run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $43,055 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and New York's own levy, $46,338 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($44,450 to $77,100) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New York rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New York's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $43,055 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $46,338 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and New York 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.
