Tellers in the Terre Haute Metro

BLS metro-level wage data places Tellers pay in Terre Haute, IN at a median of $35,210 per year ($16.93/hr), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $43,030, the metro estimate is 18% below. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause. Approximately 200 tellers are employed across the Terre Haute MSA in SOC 43-3071.

The Terre Haute pay distribution spans from $31,360 at the 10th percentile to $43,780 at the 90th, a 1.4× observed spread. Differences in specialization, employer, sector, location, credentials, schedule, and experience may all contribute, but OEWS does not isolate their effects. The 25th percentile sits at $34,320 and the 75th at $36,390, so half of Terre Haute-based tellers earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Terre Haute, IN covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. OEWS includes straight-time pay, tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer health and retirement benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. The same occupation's national profile, statewide IN estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
