Physician salary questions
How do I find the average or median physician salary in my state?
Choose a specialty and state guide. Each available BLS state estimate reports mean (average) and median covered employee wages with its source date. Missing estimates stay unavailable; national compensation is never relabeled as a state average.
Can annual doctor wages be converted into an hourly rate?
Dividing an annualized wage estimate by 2,080 gives an arithmetic hourly equivalent. It does not establish a locums, per-diem or telemedicine offer rate. Compare actual paid hours, benefits, malpractice/tail and duties.
Are state wage estimates comparable with national compensation surveys?
Not directly. State BLS employee wages and national total-compensation surveys cover different populations and pay components. The guides keep them separate rather than treating them as a salary range.
What affects physician pay?
Specialty, FTE, paid hours, clinical and administrative duties, call, productivity incentives, benefits and malpractice/tail affect an offer. Check the contract terms, not only the annual headline.
How can I find higher-paying or part-time physician work?
Use Saile to explore work options and compare written pay terms, hours, duties and costs. Matching depends on specialty, credentials and location. A salary benchmark does not prove current openings or guarantee higher pay.
How much is your agency making off you?

Leave your name and an email or phone number. If you work through an agency, you can add your pay rate, agency and facility. We'll try to find the rate the facility pays the agency. If we can verify it, we'll help you decide what to ask for.
The bill-rate/pay gap is not agency profit; it can include other costs. Bill rates are not always available, and we cannot guarantee a number or an instant report.
