What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is one of the better-paying states for travel agents. The middle earner takes $63,400, which ranks 1 of 49 states with published figures. That is about 26.4% above the national middle.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 208 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $63,400 you keep $53,122, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $54,776 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $65,270, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nevada ranks 1 of 49 states publishing a median for travel agents, at $63,400 — about 26.4% 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.
- Travel agents ranks 208 of 485 occupations in Nevada by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for travel agents on $63,400 is $53,122. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $54,776 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 $65,270 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $63,400 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $42,420 and the ninetieth is $63,400 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $53,122, from $63,400, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 208 of 485 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $54,776 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 208.
- The Nevada median of $63,400 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $42,420 to $63,400. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $53,122 from $63,400. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 208 of 485 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $54,776, worked from $63,400, 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 208 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $42,420 and the top tenth $63,400, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $54,776 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $53,122 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?
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($42,420 to $63,400) 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 $54,776 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 $53,122 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.
