So we’ve looked at the average salaries a Hotel Desk Clerk will earn in United States. The next interesting data point is the distribution of salaries.

Salary ranges

We already know that a Hotel Desk Clerk can earn between 16,000 USD and 52,000 USD on average in United States. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

Median salary

The median salary for a Hotel Desk Clerk in United States is 35,100 USD. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 35,100 USD, and 50% of the population earn more than 35,100 USD.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that’s a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you’re not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).

Percentiles

Percentiles are similar to the median salary, but instead of looking at the middle value, they look at the values in the top and bottom half of the distribution.

For the average Hotel Desk Clerk salary in United States, 25% of the population are earning less than 23,700 USD while 75% of the population earn more than 23,700 USD.

75% of the population earn less than 41,400 USD, and 25% of the population earn more than 41,400 USD.

Like the median salary, the 25th and 75th percentile salaries can be used to determine which quartile you fall into so that you know whether you are being paid well enough compared to others in your profession and location.

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

• If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.
• If your salary is lower than the average and the median salary, it could indicate you are not being paid well enough.
• If you are somewhere in between then it’s tricky to determine if you are being paid well enough and you might need to research more closely.

Hotel Desk Clerk Salary by Experience Level in United States

The most important factor in determining your salary after the specific profession is the number of years experience you have. It stands to reason that more years of experience will result in a higher wage.

We have researched the average hotel desk clerk salary based on years of experience to give you an idea of how the average changes once you’ve worked for a certain amount of time.

The approximate cost of a master’s degree or post-graduate program like an MBA in United States is around 39,500 to 118,000 USD and takes two years to complete.

As you can see above, there are financial benefits from reaching master’s degree level, but don’t expect to see much of a salary increase until you have completed the degree.

Hotel Desk Clerk Salary Compared by Gender

In the modern age, we know that there should never be a pay gap between men and women. Unfortunately, in many professions, there is still a significant difference between the salaries earned by men when compared to the salary of women in the same job.

In United States, a male hotel desk clerk will earn an average of 32,200 USD, while a female hotel desk clerk will earn around 35,300 USD.

This means that a male hotel desk clerk earns approximately 9% less than a female hotel desk clerk for performing the same job.

Hotel Desk Clerk Average Pay Raise in United States

In many countries, an annual pay raise is often given to employees to reward their service with a salary increase.

To make the data more meaningful, we can calculate what the approximate annual pay raise would be using a simple formula:

Annual Increase = ( 9 ÷ 16 ) × 12  = 7%

What this means is that a Hotel Desk Clerk in United States can expect to receive an average pay raise of around 7% every 12 months.
