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 $24,960, one filer taking the standard deduction keeps about $22,165 a year, or roughly $1,847 a month.

Nevada levies no state income tax on wages, so nothing is withheld for it.
No. The median in Nevada is 40.1% below the national median of $41,670.

It is 0.32 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.

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 6,600 of these jobs in Nevada for May 2025.
That makes the occupation 26% more concentrated here than in the country as a whole. It counts wage and salary jobs, so the self-employed are outside it.
