What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida sits in the middle of the pack for physicians, all other. The median is $262,180, ranking 32 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Florida reports, physicians, all other comes in at 2 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $262,180, tax leaves $191,178 — and because Florida is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $184,799 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $267,380, since top earners drag the number up.
- Florida occupies the middle band for physicians, all other: a median of $262,180, ranking 32 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Physicians, all other ranks 2 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.
- After tax, $191,178 remains from the Florida median of $262,180 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $184,799 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $267,380 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $262,180 as a midpoint for Florida, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $65,370 and the ninetieth is $439,940 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $191,178 take-home in Florida comes from $262,180. 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 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $184,799 uses one figure for the whole of Florida. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 2.
- The Florida median of $262,180 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $65,370 to $439,940. 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 $191,178, from $262,180, 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 2 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 32 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $184,799, worked from $262,180, 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 Florida address, on work sitting at 2 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $65,370 at the bottom tenth to $439,940 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Florida costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $184,799 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $191,178 survives, because Florida levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($65,370) and the ninetieth ($439,940) 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 $184,799 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 $191,178 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.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
