What is the salary and career path for a teller supervisor?
Teller supervisor is not its own BLS occupation; supervising a teller line falls under the broad First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers group (SOC 43-1011), whose OEWS May 2025 median is $69,500 a year ($33.41 an hour), from $45,610 at the 10th percentile to $104,710 at the 90th. Because the group spans many office-supervision roles, bank head-teller pay typically sits in the lower half. It is worth noting the tellers being supervised (SOC 43-3071) face a sharp projected decline as branches shrink. BLS projects the broad supervisor group roughly flat, about -0.3% over 2024–2034, with about 144,500 openings a year. No license is required.

Methodology & Sources
How this guide is sourced and reviewed
Wages (BLS): All median and percentile figures are BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 43-1011 (teller supervisors) and the matching SOC codes for each comparison role. OEWS is sampled on a rolling 3-year basis and published ~10 months after collection, so treat it as a firm anchor rather than a spot rate.
Job growth: Projected 2024–34 employment change, and the average annual openings figure, are from the BLS Employment Projections program, by occupation. Openings are a per-year average over the projection decade, not a decade total.
Licensing & credentials:Requirements are drawn from the issuing state licensing boards and the certifying body behind each credential — not from third-party aggregators.
Demand signal:Any statement about how quickly this role clears offers reflects GlobalCybers placement request volume across the trailing 12 months — our own network data, offered as a directional real-world indicator alongside BLS, not a market-wide survey.
