What changed since May 2024

Lease Accountant (ASC 842) median annual wage, United States
Release	Median
BLS OEWS May 2024	$81,680
BLS OEWS May 2025	$83,680

The published medians differ by $2,000. 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, nonproduction bonuses and employer-paid benefits. A discretionary annual, retention or sign-on bonus is not the same as a production bonus. Ask what earns each payment before comparing the offer with this table. Equity is separate from the cash wage shown here. State those terms alongside base pay; the BLS percentile does not price them for you.
