Cashier salary in the US
Most cashier ads in the United States pay $27,000 – $33,000 a year before tax, and $35,000 – $45,000 for front-end supervisors. Pay varies a lot by state and city, so compare the full package: health insurance, 401(k) match, paid time off and bonus can add 20–30% on top of base pay.
What employers ask for
Most cashier job ads in the US ask for cash and card handling, customer service and flexible shifts. The sectors hiring most are grocery, retail and fast food, and many openings are in every state, with the most openings in Texas, California and Florida.
Visa sponsorship and work authorisation
Most US roles require existing work authorisation. Some employers sponsor an H-1B visa, and the ad usually says so: search the description for "sponsorship". See our visa sponsorship jobs for employers that hire from abroad.
