Key Skills
Physical Therapist Career Context
In Texas, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$88k (506 salary observations; 4,423 listings), vs ~$94k nationally (9,671 salary observations; 51,402 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 Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$94k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $96k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$94k midpoint, that is roughly $4k–$7k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
