First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers salary in Iowa

I would start with the middle, not the top of the range. For first-line supervisors of food preparation and serving workers in Iowa, that middle figure was $38,760 a year. It gives you a steadier base for rent, bills and savings plans than a headline salary that only a small share of workers actually reach.

The middle half of workers earned from $35,160 to $47,280 a year. Do not read the percentile range as good versus bad jobs. It mostly reflects experience, hours, employer type and local demand. A new starter near the 25th percentile and a veteran near the 75th can both be fairly paid for their stage.

Iowa school district and county EMS surtaxes are separate and are not in this figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
