Medians blend permanent salaries with annualized locums/contract rates. 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.
New Hampshire leads at $403k, against a $296k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Wyoming (6.2/10), Rhode Island (5.9/10), Utah (5.9/10).
