What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Nevada pays teachers and instructors, all other around $65,610 at the midpoint, 23 of 50 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 192.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $65,610 the take-home is $54,898; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $56,607 would nationally. The average lands at $65,560, below the middle of the range.
- For teachers and instructors, all other the Nevada median is $65,610, ranking 23 of 50 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- In Nevada's occupational distribution, teachers and instructors, all other sits at 192 of 485 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Post-tax income for teachers and instructors, all other in Nevada, on $65,610, is $54,898 — equivalent to $56,607 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 $65,560 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $65,610. The published range is $31,150 up to $98,180, 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 $54,898, worked from $65,610. 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 192 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $56,607 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 192.
- Reported values are medians; for teachers and instructors, all other in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $31,150 to $98,180. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $54,898, on $65,610 for work ranking 192 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 192 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,607, worked from $65,610, 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 192 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $31,150, the highest tenth $98,180, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $56,607.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $54,898 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 ($31,150) and the ninetieth ($98,180) 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 $56,607 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 $54,898 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.
