Non-Retail Sales Supervisors salary in the US
Here is where pay for non-retail sales supervisors stands nationally, built from Census microdata rather than job-board postings.
How much do non-retail sales supervisors earn?
Across the country, the midpoint of annual earnings for non-retail sales supervisors is $75,562 — 44% more than the $52,508 median for all US earners aged 25 and older. That is good for 50th place out of 171: better than most, yet well below the highest-paid fields. The sample is 49,060 people aged 25 or older who listed this job and had earnings during the year.
| Position | Annual earnings |
|---|---|
| Top 10% start at | $183,303 |
| Top 25% start at | $119,758 |
| Median (top 50%) | $75,562 |
| Bottom 25% earn below | $46,922 |
How wide is the pay range?
This is a field with a long upper tail: $119,758 gets you into the top quarter, but the top 10% starts near $183,303, 2.4× what the median worker earns. A quarter of workers in the field made $46,922 or less over the year — a figure shaped by part-time and seasonal work as much as by hourly rates. So the distance from the bottom quarter to the middle is a factor of 1.6.
Earnings by age
Mid-career workers out-earn new entrants, but not dramatically — the median goes from $60,915 (25–34) to $83,527 (45–54). After the peak, the 65+ group's median falls to $62,968 (25% lower), largely because more older workers cut back their hours.
Men and women
Women in this occupation have a median of $70,383, 11% below the $78,710 men report. Women account for around 36% of the records behind these figures. Part of that difference reflects hours worked and job level within the occupation, which these totals don't control for.
| Group | Median earnings | Survey records |
|---|---|---|
| Men | $78,710 | 31,271 |
| Women | $70,383 | 17,789 |
Does education change the pay?
Within the same job title, a doctorate goes with a $118,885 median, versus $56,946 for a high school education or less — a 109% difference. The largest group in the sample has a bachelor's degree (16,069 records). Levels with fewer than 100 records are left out rather than estimated.
| Education | Median earnings | Survey records |
|---|---|---|
| High school or less | $56,946 | 12,615 |
| Some college / associate | $68,022 | 14,985 |

About these figures
About the data: the American Community Survey asks people their occupation and earnings; we pool the 2020–2024 responses, convert them to 2024 dollars, and weight each person to represent the population. The 49,060 records for non-retail sales supervisors include part-time workers, so these are annual totals rather than full-time salaries.
