What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Nevada's middle earner gets $71,050, putting the state 5 of 47 — about 21.14% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 176 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $71,050 you keep $58,814 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $60,645 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $69,760.
- For title examiners, abstractors, and searchers, Nevada sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $71,050, ranking 5 of 47 and running about 21.14% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 176 of 485 in Nevada places title examiners, abstractors, and searchers 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 $58,814 after the full tax stack, from $71,050. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $60,645 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $69,760 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $71,050 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $47,160 and the ninetieth is $94,320 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $58,814, worked from $71,050. 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 176 of 485.
- Two cautions on $60,645, the adjusted value of that $71,050 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 176 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $71,050 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $47,160 to $94,320. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Nevada take-home of $58,814, on $71,050 for work ranking 176 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 176 of 485 in the state.
- This $60,645 adjusted figure, worked from $71,050, 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 176 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 176 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $47,160 at the tenth percentile, $94,320 at the ninetieth.
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 $60,645.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $58,814 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. 47 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($47,160 to $94,320) 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 $60,645 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 $58,814 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 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
