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.
Mississippi leads at $118k, against a $85k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Montana (6.9/10), Idaho (6.3/10), Wyoming (6.3/10).
