Physical Therapist Career Context
In Tennessee, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$86k (42 salary observations; 167 listings), vs ~$93k nationally (20,704 salary observations; 48,650 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-09-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
Physical Therapy pay on WeekdayDoc is down 4.8% vs. the prior quarter (through Aug 2026).
The cost-of-living index for Tennessee is 91.9 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$75k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $81k 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 ~$75k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
