What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is one of the better-paying states for social workers, all other. The middle earner takes $121,830, which ranks 1 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 69.44% above the national middle.
- Within Nevada this is well-paid work. Of 485 occupations with published figures in the state, social workers, all other ranks 22 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $121,830 the take-home is $94,537; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $97,481 would nationally. The average lands at $119,520, below the middle of the range.
- Nevada ranks 1 of 50 states publishing a median for social workers, all other, at $121,830 — about 69.44% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Ranked against every occupation Nevada publishes a median for, social workers, all other sits 22 of 485 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Post-tax income for social workers, all other in Nevada, on $121,830, is $94,537 — equivalent to $97,481 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $119,520 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of social workers, all other in Nevada earn under $121,830 and half over. The published range runs $74,110 at the tenth percentile to $158,720 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $94,537 take-home in Nevada comes from $121,830. 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 22 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $97,481, the adjusted value of that $121,830 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 22 of 485 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for social workers, all other in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $74,110 to $158,720; 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 $94,537, from $121,830, 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 22 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 1 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $97,481 — the adjusted value of that $121,830 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 22 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $74,110 at the bottom tenth to $158,720 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $97,481.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $94,537 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?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($74,110 to $158,720) 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 $97,481 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 $94,537 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.
