Methodology
National medians are sourced from 2025-2026 MGMA and AMGA physician compensation reports and BLS Occupational Employment Statistics for nursing and therapy roles. The calculator applies three multipliers to the national median:
- State cost-of-living — 0.90x (MS) to 1.18x (CA)
- Experience curve — 0.82x (0-2y) to 1.15x (10-20y)
- Practice setting — 0.88x (academic) to 1.12x (private practice partner)
Figures are directional estimates for relative comparison — not substitutes for offer-specific negotiation data.
