BLS metro-level wage data places School Psychologists pay in Omaha, NE-IA at a median of $89,900 per year ($43.22/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $95,990, Omaha pays 6% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 210 school psychologistss are employed across the Omaha MSA in SOC 19-3034.

The Omaha pay distribution spans from $66,520 at the 10th percentile to $125,050 at the 90th — a 1.9× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $78,110 and the 75th at $108,850, so half of Omaha-based school psychologistss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Omaha, NE-IA covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide NE data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
