What changed since May 2024

Commercial Lender / Relationship Manager median annual wage, United States
Release	Median
BLS OEWS May 2024	$74,180
BLS OEWS May 2025	$76,690

The published medians differ by $2,510. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, OEWS May 2024 and May 2025. This is not an annualized growth claim. Area definitions and the workers represented can change.

What belongs in the pay comparison

OEWS includes straight-time gross wages, guaranteed pay, commissions and production bonuses. It excludes overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and employer-paid benefits. It is neither pure base salary nor total compensation. For a lending or advisory seat, this is not a base-salary-only figure. Commission and production pay can already be in the BLS wage. Separate the base, the production formula and any guaranteed draw in your offer so you do not add the same pay twice. Equity and ownership distributions are not a cash wage range for the seat.

Reading this page's BLS evidence

What do the released numbers measure?

The distance from P25 to the median is $23,960; from the median to P75 it is $27,390. The upper part is wider. Compare an offer against those published points, but do not assign an exact percentile between them or label them junior, senior and manager pay.

How does this estimate compare with the national figure?

This national Loan Officers median pools places and employers; it is not a city-specific offer target. The mean is $87,790, $11,100 above the median. The average and midpoint describe different parts of the distribution. Check an actual area row before using the national figure in a local hiring budget.

Which other metro estimates can you compare?

Among the loaded national industry rows for Loan Officers, the highest numeric annual medians are Automotive Equipment Rental and Leasing (NAICS 532100), $128,300; Other Investment Pools and Funds (NAICS 525900), $110,980.

For Loan Officers in the United States, the median was $74,180 in 2024-05 and $76,690 in 2025-05. The difference is $2,510 upward. This subtracts two published estimates; it is not a growth forecast or a same-worker raise. The SOC and area codes match, but the surveyed employment mix can change.

What belongs outside the wage budget?

The Loan Officers benchmark is neither pure base salary nor total compensation. Guaranteed pay, commissions and production bonuses are included in OEWS, so adding all commission again would double-count pay already covered. Overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and employer benefits are excluded. Budget those separately where relevant; this the United States row provides no amounts for them, equity or relocation.
