What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida is among the lower-paying states for family medicine physicians. The middle earner takes $227,700, ranking 40 of 51 states — about 6.75% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Florida reports, family medicine physicians comes in at 3 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $227,700 the take-home is $168,542. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $162,918 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is lower, $222,290, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Florida ranks 40 of 51 for family medicine physicians, with a median of $227,700 — about 6.75% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Family medicine physicians ranks 3 of 493 occupations by median in Florida, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $168,542 for family medicine physicians, from $227,700. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $162,918. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $222,290 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $227,700 as a midpoint for Florida, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $75,020 and the ninetieth is $392,610 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $168,542 take-home in Florida comes from $227,700. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 3 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Florida, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $162,918, the adjusted value of that $227,700 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 3 of 493 in the state.
- The Florida median of $227,700 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $75,020 to $392,610. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $168,542, from $227,700, assumes a single Florida filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 3 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 40 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Florida, so $162,918 — the adjusted value of that $227,700 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 3 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $75,020 at the bottom tenth to $392,610 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $162,918 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $168,542 survives, because Florida levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($75,020) and the ninetieth ($392,610) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $162,918 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $168,542 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
