What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is among the lower-paying states for physicians, all other. The middle earner takes $252,120, ranking 36 of 50 states — about 5.19% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 485 occupations Nevada reports, physicians, all other comes in at 1 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $252,120 you keep $184,574 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $190,321 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $251,310.
- Nevada ranks 36 of 50 for physicians, all other, with a median of $252,120 — about 5.19% 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.
- Physicians, all other ranks 1 of 485 occupations by median in Nevada, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $184,574 after the full tax stack, from $252,120. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $190,321 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $251,310 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $252,120. The published range is $74,990 up to $409,930, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $184,574, from $252,120, 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 1 of 485 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $190,321 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 1.
- Reported values are medians; for physicians, all other in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $74,990 to $409,930. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $184,574 from $252,120. 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 1 of 485 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $190,321, worked from $252,120, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Nevada address, on work sitting at 1 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $74,990 at the bottom tenth to $409,930 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $190,321.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $184,574 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($74,990) and the ninetieth ($409,930) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $190,321 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 $184,574 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
