Orthopedic Surgery Pay & Work-Life Balance by State
Advertised-pay benchmarks and work-life-balance scores across 51 states with enough orthopedic surgery listings to measure. Pay uses weighted monthly permanent-position medians over 13 calendar months where available, with cohort-median fallbacks—not pooled medians or a salary survey. Take-home figures deduct state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025) and adjust for local cost of living (BEA Regional Price Parities 2024); federal tax is uniform across states and omitted.

Washington leads at $742k, against a $322k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Rhode Island (5.9/10), Wyoming (5.7/10), North Carolina (5.5/10).
