Physical Therapist Career Context

In Tennessee, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$85k (299 salary observations; 1,476 listings), vs ~$94k nationally (15,018 salary observations; 57,383 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.

The cost-of-living index for Tennessee is 91.9 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$66k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $71k in an average-cost state. 58.6% of Tennessee clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics

Tennessee has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$66k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
