Common questions
The median wage for driver/sales workers in Nevada is $31,760 a year, or $15.27 an hour.
Half earn more than that and half earn less. The figure comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational wage survey for May 2025.
On the median wage of $31,760, one filer taking the standard deduction keeps about $27,699 a year, or roughly $2,308 a month.
That is after federal and FICA tax, an effective rate of 12.8%.
Nevada levies no state income tax on wages, so nothing is withheld for it.
No. The median in Nevada is 18.1% below the national median of $38,770.
Nominal pay is only half the comparison: prices in Nevada sit at 100 against a national 100, so the gap in what the money buys is different from the gap in the salary.
It is 0.41 times the median household income of $78,260. A household often has more than one earner, so a single salary at this level goes further than the ratio alone suggests.
Prices in Nevada run at 100 against a national average of 100, with rents at 114.1, so $31,760 here buys about what $31,767 buys at national average prices.
The top tenth earn $51,550 a year or more, against $24,960 at the bottom tenth.
Experience, specialism, employer and the part of Nevada someone works in all move a wage inside that range; the survey reports the spread, not the reason for it.
The survey counted 4,310 of these jobs in Nevada for May 2025.
That makes the occupation 6% more concentrated here than in the country as a whole. It counts wage and salary jobs, so the self-employed are outside it.
