What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for family medicine physicians is strong here. Minnesota's middle earner gets $280,030, putting the state 15 of 51 — about 14.68% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Minnesota this is well-paid work. Of 490 occupations with published figures in the state, family medicine physicians ranks 3 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $280,030, take-home of $182,179 is worth roughly $185,110 in national money. The average lands at $272,380, below the middle of the range.
- For family medicine physicians, Minnesota sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $280,030, ranking 15 of 51 and running about 14.68% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Ranked against every occupation Minnesota publishes a median for, family medicine physicians sits 3 of 490 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for family medicine physicians, whose median is $280,030, the adjusted figure of $185,110 differs little from $182,179 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $272,380 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Minnesota earn less than $280,030. The published range is $153,100 up to $391,150, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Minnesota's $182,179, worked from $280,030. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 3 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $185,110, the adjusted value of that $280,030 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 490 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for family medicine physicians in Minnesota the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $153,100 to $391,150. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Minnesota take-home of $182,179, on $280,030 for work ranking 3 of 490 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 3 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $185,110 — the adjusted value of that $280,030 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 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $153,100 and the top tenth $391,150 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Minnesota sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $185,110 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Minnesota then takes its own share, leaving $182,179.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($153,100) and the ninetieth ($391,150) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $185,110 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $182,179 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
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.
