- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 335.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $47,840 the take-home is $40,619; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $41,884 would nationally. The average comes to $54,330, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada ranks 39 of 45 for mechanical door repairers, with a median of $47,840 — about 14.14% 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, mechanical door repairers sits at 335 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.
- Post-tax income for mechanical door repairers in Nevada, on $47,840, is $40,619 — equivalent to $41,884 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 $54,330 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $47,840. The published range is $41,630 up to $71,260, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $40,619 take-home in Nevada comes from $47,840. 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 335 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,884, the adjusted value of that $47,840 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 335 of 485 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for mechanical door repairers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $41,630 to $71,260. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $40,619, from $47,840, 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 335 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 39 of 45 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $41,884 — the adjusted value of that $47,840 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 335 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $54,330 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $41,630 at the bottom tenth to $71,260 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $41,884 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $40,619 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 45 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 Nevada is $54,330. 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 ($41,630 to $71,260) 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 $41,884 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 $40,619 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.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
