Which state pays obstetrics & gynecology physicians the most?
Minnesota currently has the highest median obstetrics & gynecology salary at $397,280, based on 14 real job listings. Adjusted for cost of living, Iowa offers the highest real purchasing power at $415,943.
Which state offers the best after-tax obstetrics & gynecology pay?
Iowa currently leads the take-home view at $400,137 — the state median after its state income tax (Tax Foundation state income tax rates (2025)), divided by the local cost-of-living index. No-income-tax states like Texas, Florida and Tennessee often outrank nominally higher-paying states here.
Why adjust obstetrics & gynecology salaries for cost of living?
Prices differ across states. The adjusted view divides each state's pay benchmark by its regional price index (U.S. average = 100). Source: BEA Regional Price Parities (2024). This is a state-level comparison, not a personal budget or a city-level cost estimate. Missing price data is shown as unavailable.
Which state has the best obstetrics & gynecology lifestyle scores?
Oregon currently has the highest average WeekdayDoc burnout score (5.9/10, higher is better) for obstetrics & gynecology listings — a measure of call burden, weekend requirements, and schedule flexibility across postings.
Medians computed from real WeekdayDoc job listings after outlier removal; states with fewer than 5 qualifying listings are excluded. Cost-of-living adjustment uses BEA Regional Price Parities (2024). The take-home view additionally deducts state income tax at each state's marginal rate for ~$300k single-filer income (Tax Foundation state income tax rates (2025)); federal tax is omitted since it's uniform across states, and local/property taxes are not modeled. Burnout scores are WeekdayDoc's proprietary 0–10 lifestyle rating (higher is better).
