What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for medical equipment repairers is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $69,820, putting the state 13 of 51 — about 13.23% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 178.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $69,820 you keep $57,948 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $59,753 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $66,940.
- For medical equipment repairers, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $69,820, ranking 13 of 51 and running about 13.23% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- In Nevada's occupational distribution, medical equipment repairers sits at 178 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.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $57,948 after the full tax stack, from $69,820. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $59,753 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $66,940 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $69,820 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $44,830 and the ninetieth is $95,000 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $57,948 take-home in Nevada comes from $69,820. 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 178 of 485.
- Two cautions on $59,753, the adjusted value of that $69,820 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. 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 178 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $69,820 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $44,830 to $95,000. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $57,948, from $69,820, 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 178 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 13 of 51 for it.
- This $59,753 adjusted figure, worked from $69,820, 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 178 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 178 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 $66,940 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $44,830 at the tenth percentile, $95,000 at the ninetieth.
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 $59,753 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $57,948 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $66,940. 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 ($44,830 to $95,000) 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 $59,753 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 $57,948 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.
