What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $75,840, putting the state 15 of 46 — about 14.44% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 148 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $75,840 you keep $62,183, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $64,120 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $74,620, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For probation officers and correctional treatment specialists, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $75,840, ranking 15 of 46 and running about 14.44% 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.
- Position 148 of 485 in Nevada places probation officers and correctional treatment specialists in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for probation officers and correctional treatment specialists on $75,840 is $62,183. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $64,120 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $74,620 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $75,840. The published range is $54,720 up to $95,150, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $62,183, worked from $75,840. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 148 of 485.
- Two cautions on $64,120, the adjusted value of that $75,840 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 148 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for probation officers and correctional treatment specialists in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $54,720 to $95,150. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $62,183, on $75,840 for work ranking 148 of 485 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 148 of 485 in the state.
- This $64,120 adjusted figure, worked from $75,840, 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 148 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 148 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $54,720 at the tenth percentile, $95,150 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $64,120 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $62,183 of this wage reaches your account, because Nevada takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 46 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($54,720 to $95,150) 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 $64,120 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 $62,183 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 46 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
