What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Nevada is 30 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $62,450. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 220 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $62,450 you keep $52,359 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $53,989 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $72,590, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nevada ranks 30 of 51 for sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel at $62,450. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 220 of 485 in Nevada places sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel 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.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $52,359 after the full tax stack, from $62,450. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $53,989 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $72,590 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel in Nevada earn under $62,450 and half over. The published range runs $37,110 at the tenth percentile to $109,180 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $52,359 take-home in Nevada comes from $62,450. 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 220 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $53,989 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 220.
- Figures are distribution medians for sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $37,110 to $109,180; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Retained pay of $52,359, from $62,450, 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 220 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 30 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $53,989, worked from $62,450, 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 220 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $72,590, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $37,110 and the top tenth $109,180 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $53,989 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $52,359 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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.
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 $72,590. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($37,110) and the ninetieth ($109,180) 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 $53,989 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 $52,359 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.
