Respiratory Therapist Pay & Work-Life Balance by State
Advertised-pay benchmarks and work-life-balance scores across 47 states with enough respiratory therapist 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.

District of Columbia leads at $125k, against a $84k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Alaska (5.1/10), Hawaii (4.8/10), Delaware (4.7/10).
