Tellers Salary

It’s a stretch — at the median salary of $46K, rent takes 52.7% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $1,700/month. The 30% guideline puts the comfortable ceiling at roughly $1,000/month in rent — so roommates or a 1-bedroom would ease the math significantly.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new tellers typically earn — is $36K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $2,132/month. At HUD’s $1,700/month FMR, rent would take 80% of that take-home — above the 30% guideline, so a 1-bedroom or shared housing is likely necessary starting out.

Pay here is roughly in line with the national average — $46K locally vs. $43K nationally, a 6% difference.

Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach pays $46K median vs. the U.S. average of $43K — that’s +6%. After adjusting for local cost of living (RPP 99.37), the purchasing-power equivalent is $46K — still ahead of the national median.

The median is $45,610 a year, that works out to about $22 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $35,540, and experienced tellers can clear $52,070. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $3,224/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,700/month, which eats 52.7% of your paycheck. That's above the 30% rule of thumb, housing will be a stretch at the median salary, though you can manage with roommates or a smaller place.

Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach has a Regional Price Parity of 99.37 (100 is the national average). That's below average, your money stretches further here than the raw salary number suggests. After cost-of-living adjustment, the median tellers salary is worth about $45,899 in national-average purchasing power.

The table above ranks every state by median pay for this role. Keep in mind that the highest-paying states tend to have the highest costs of living, so the top salary doesn't always mean the most money in your pocket.
