Cashier Pay and Job Outlook
| Fact | BLS figure (cashiers) |
|---|---|
| Median pay (May 2025) | $32,880 a year ($15.81 an hour) |
| Lowest 10% earned less than | $11.79 an hour |
| Highest 10% earned more than | $19.43 an hour |
| Typical entry-level education | No formal educational credential |
| Training | Short-term on-the-job training, usually up to a few weeks |
| Jobs in 2025 | About 3,106,300 |
| Job outlook, 2025 to 2035 | Down 6% |
| Openings each year, on average | About 521,300, from workers who leave the occupation or labor force |
These are U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures for all cashiers. BLS projects employment to decline 6 percent from 2025 to 2035, but about 521,300 openings are expected each year. Pay varies by state, employer and local minimum wage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Vague bullets. Say how many transactions, how much cash and what result.
- Listing credentials you do not hold. Write exactly what is on your records.
- Leaving out numbers. Accuracy and speed are easier to trust with figures.
- Too long. One page is enough for most cashiers.
- Typos. Check every date and number before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a cashier resume include?
Include contact details, a short summary, selected achievements, experience with numbers, certifications or training, education and skills. Name the type of store, such as grocery, convenience store or retail.
How do I format a cashier resume?
Use clear sections such as Summary, Selected Achievements, Experience, Certifications, Education and Skills, with bullet points and one consistent style. Keep it to one page.
Which skills matter most on a cashier resume?
Cash handling, accuracy with point-of-sale systems, customer service, returns and exchanges, drawer balancing, loss prevention and teamwork. List only skills you can show.
How do I show customer service skills?
Give specific examples with numbers, such as customers served per shift, returns resolved, positive comments or rewards sign-ups. Describe how you stayed calm and fixed a problem.
Do cashiers need certification?
Usually no. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) lists no formal educational credential as typical, and cashiers are trained on the job, usually for up to a few weeks. Some employers or states require training for age-restricted sales, so list only what you hold.
What if I have no cashier experience?
Lead with customer service training, your skills and any job, volunteer role or school activity where you handled money or served people. Show reliability and accuracy with honest numbers.
How do I add numbers to a cashier resume?
Count transactions per shift, dollars handled, drawer accuracy, returns resolved, rewards sign-ups, new cashiers trained and on-time shifts. Use honest estimates you can explain in an interview.
How long should a cashier resume be?
One page. Put the strongest, most relevant items first.
Should I include a cover letter?
Yes, when the employer allows it. A short letter lets you explain why you want to work in that store. See our cashier cover letter samples.
How do I handle work gaps?
Be honest and brief. You can mention school, family responsibilities or training, and keep the resume focused on your skills and results.
Conclusion
A good cashier resume is clear, accurate and easy to scan. Show the money you handle, the customers you serve and the results you deliver. Tailor each application, then use the builder above to write yours.
