What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is among the lower-paying states for skincare specialists. The middle earner takes $38,660, ranking 40 of 49 states — about 14.71% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Nevada, this one sits low: 419 of 485 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $38,660 you keep $33,243, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $34,279 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $47,260, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nevada ranks 40 of 49 for skincare specialists, with a median of $38,660 — about 14.71% 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.
- Skincare specialists occupies position 419 of 485 in Nevada's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for skincare specialists on $38,660 is $33,243. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $34,279 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 $47,260 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of skincare specialists in Nevada earn under $38,660 and half over. The published range runs $28,070 at the tenth percentile to $73,110 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $33,243, worked from $38,660. 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 419 of 485.
- Two cautions on $34,279, the adjusted value of that $38,660 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 419 of 485 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for skincare specialists in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $28,070 to $73,110; 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.
- The Nevada take-home of $33,243, on $38,660 for work ranking 419 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 419 of 485 in the state.
- This $34,279 adjusted figure, worked from $38,660, 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 419 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 419 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $47,260, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $28,070 at the bottom tenth to $73,110 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 $34,279.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $33,243 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 49 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release 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 $47,260. 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 ($28,070) and the ninetieth ($73,110) 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 $34,279 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 $33,243 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
