Physical Therapist Career Context

In Texas, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$88k (532 salary observations; 4,968 listings), vs ~$93k nationally (10,394 salary observations; 56,600 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 ~$53k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $55k 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 ~$53k midpoint, that is roughly $2k–$4k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
