What sales reps make
Median
$104,920
Bottom tenth
$52,600
Top tenth
$200,440
The national median is $104,920 a year. The bottom tenth earn $52,600 or less and the top tenth $200,440 or more (2025 federal wage survey). This figure is for the technical and scientific slice of the job, meaning products that need real knowledge of engineering, chemistry, biology or software. Wholesale reps selling other products are a separate group with a median of $72,080, and retail sales is separate again, so do not read this number as what every job called sales pays.
