BLS figures put the median pay for administrative services managers in Nashville, TN, at $133,220 a year. It runs 28% above the national median of $103,815 for this occupation — pay here is notably stronger than the U.S. average. The middle 50% land between $103,570 and $169,990 — a 66,420 range that reflects differences in seniority, employer type, and specialization. The average (mean) of $142,830 comes in higher than the median, which usually means a share of high earners is pulling the average up. The catch: Nashville is roughly in line with the national cost of living (cost index 100 against a 100 baseline), so that headline number buys less than it would elsewhere. On an hourly basis that is about $64.05, useful for comparing contract or part-time offers.

For context, the national median for administrative services managers across all U.S. metros in our data is $103,815.
