What this pays, and what it is worth
- Utah is one of the better-paying states for family medicine physicians. The middle earner takes $297,510, which ranks 7 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 21.84% above the national middle.
- Within Utah this is well-paid work. Of 487 occupations with published figures in the state, family medicine physicians ranks 2 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Utah is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $297,510 the take-home is $200,378; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $210,919 would nationally. The average lands at $297,110, below the middle of the range.
- Utah ranks 7 of 51 states publishing a median for family medicine physicians, at $297,510 — about 21.84% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Ranked against every occupation Utah publishes a median for, family medicine physicians sits 2 of 487 — 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.
- Post-tax income for family medicine physicians in Utah, on $297,510, is $200,378 — equivalent to $210,919 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $297,110 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Utah earn less than $297,510. The published range is $142,340 up to $413,910, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $200,378 take-home in Utah comes from $297,510. 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 2 of 487.
- Two cautions on $210,919, the adjusted value of that $297,510 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Utah. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 2 of 487 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for family medicine physicians in Utah the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $142,340 to $413,910. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $200,378, from $297,510, assumes a single Utah 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 2 of 487 locally, and the state ranks 7 of 51 for it.
- This $210,919 adjusted figure, worked from $297,510, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 2 of 487 in the state. The occupation ranks 2 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $142,340 at the bottom tenth to $413,910 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Utah sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $210,919 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Utah adds its own income tax on top — which is why $200,378 of this wage survives to your account.
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 ($142,340) and the ninetieth ($413,910) 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?
Utah'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 $210,919 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 $200,378 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Utah 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.
