What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. New Hampshire is 18 of 51 states for family medicine physicians, with a middle wage of $268,650. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in New Hampshire. It ranks 3 out of 488 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $268,650, tax leaves $195,426 — and because New Hampshire is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $185,510 would nationally. Here the average runs under the middle, at $250,990.
- New Hampshire ranks 18 of 51 for family medicine physicians at $268,650. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Within New Hampshire, family medicine physicians ranks 3 of 488 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- After tax, $195,426 remains from the New Hampshire median of $268,650 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $185,510 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $250,990 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $268,650 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $175,300 and the ninetieth is $303,140 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $195,426 take-home in New Hampshire comes from $268,650. 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 488.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $185,510 uses one figure for the whole of New Hampshire. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 488 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 3.
- The New Hampshire median of $268,650 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $175,300 to $303,140. 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 $195,426, from $268,650, assumes a single New Hampshire 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 488 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $185,510, worked from $268,650, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular New Hampshire address, on work sitting at 3 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $250,990 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $175,300 at the bottom tenth to $303,140 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $185,510 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $195,426 of this wage reaches your account, because New Hampshire takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in New Hampshire is $250,990. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($175,300 to $303,140) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $185,510 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?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $195,426 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.
