Estimated compensation per wRVU
| $/wRVU | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th | Est. wRVUs/yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rate | $42.24 | $48.00 | $55.68 | $62.40 | 4,200 |
Estimates, not measured rates: $/wRVU ranges are curated industry reference values, and wRVUs/yr is a WeekdayDoc model (the specialty's common CPT codes × assumed annual counts × 2026 CMS work RVUs). CMS sets the RVU per code, not anyone's yearly volume. Use as a rough guide, and check a contract's own wRVU target and rate. Calculate your own $/wRVU →
