How pay for this job is spread here: higher means more people earn around that amount, and the darker middle is the middle half of earners. The dots are BLS's published 10th, 25th, median, 75th and 90th percentiles; the curve between them is our smooth estimate. Hover or tap a dot for its figure.

This job is more common here than nationally: 2.6 in every 1,000 jobs (location quotient 1.08).

About

The data

Every figure comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey, May 2025 estimates, retrieved November 7, 2026. BLS updates them once a year, in spring; this site is refreshed after each release.

What the numbers mean

Median: half of the people in the job earn less, half earn more. Mean: the average, which a few high earners can pull up. Percentiles: the 25th percentile is the wage that a quarter of people earn less than.

Wages are what employers pay before taxes, including tips and commissions but not overtime, bonuses or benefits. They cover employees of businesses and governments, not the self-employed.

Annual wages are hourly wages times 2,080 hours (40 hours for 52 weeks), unless BLS publishes only one of the two. For jobs that are not usually full-time all year, such as teachers or actors, BLS gives only annual or only hourly figures, and so does this site.

Where your pay falls

BLS publishes five percentiles. When your pay falls between two of them, this site estimates your position in a straight line between them, so “around the 40th percentile” is an estimate, not a BLS figure.

The bell curve under “The spread” is also an estimate: a smooth log-normal curve fitted to those five percentiles. The dots on it are the published figures.

Gaps

BLS leaves out wages it cannot estimate reliably, often because few people do that job in that area; those show as n/a. For some jobs, mostly physicians, it withholds high wages and says only that they are at or above $115.00 an hour or $239,200 a year; those show with a “+”.

Areas

Metro areas follow the federal definitions BLS uses, and the rest of each state is split into nonmetropolitan areas. A metro area that crosses a state line is listed under each state it covers.

Privacy

Last updated November 7, 2026

paycheck has no accounts, no cookies, no ads and no tracking. We don't sell or share anything you enter.

Your pay

If you enter your pay, it is sent to our server in the form itself, not in the page address, used to work out where it falls, and then discarded. It is not stored, logged or sent anywhere else.

The amount in “I want to make” is different: it is a goal, not your pay, so it is part of the page address and the search can be shared. Like any address, it appears in the short server log described below.

What you look up

The job and area you look up are part of the page address. Like most websites, our server keeps a short log of requests for security and fixing problems, with your IP address, browser type and the page address. The log is overwritten automatically as it fills, usually within days, and we don't use it for anything else.

On your device

If you pick light or dark mode, your browser remembers that choice. It stays on your device.
