What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is one of the better-paying states for tellers. The middle earner takes $44,980, which ranks 15 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 4.53% above the national middle.
- Against 485 occupations Nevada publishes, tellers lands at 373. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $44,980 you keep $38,321, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $39,515 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $43,880, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Nevada ranks 15 of 51 states publishing a median for tellers, at $44,980 — about 4.53% 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.
- Within Nevada, this work ranks 373 of 485 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for tellers on $44,980 is $38,321. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $39,515 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 $43,880 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 $44,980. The published range is $37,610 up to $47,770, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $38,321 take-home in Nevada comes from $44,980. 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 373 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $39,515, the adjusted value of that $44,980 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 373 of 485 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for tellers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $37,610 to $47,770. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $38,321, from $44,980, 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 373 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $39,515 — the adjusted value of that $44,980 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 373 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $37,610 at the bottom tenth to $47,770 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 $39,515.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $38,321 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.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($37,610 to $47,770) 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 $39,515 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 $38,321 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.
