How to read the sales & account management pay numbers in Houston, TX

The $95k median above is drawn from 132 Houston, TX listings that published a salary, with a band running from $20k to $600k. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Most listings quote on-target earnings, so the upper end of the band assumes commission is fully paid out. Base salary usually lands well below the median figure.

The median is the figure to plan around. The maximum often comes from one unusually senior seat, and what you can expect in Houston depends far more on your level and the specific company. Houston pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
