High paying sales jobs in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL

Every sales occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single sales job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL run 0.9% above the national average (2024), so a Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL salary is worth about 0.99× its face value in national terms.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
