What this pays, and what it is worth
- Minnesota is one of the better-paying states for physicians, all other. The middle earner takes $367,320, which ranks 5 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 38.13% above the national middle.
- Within Minnesota this is well-paid work. Of 490 occupations with published figures in the state, physicians, all other ranks 1 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $367,320, take-home of $227,807 is worth roughly $231,471 in national money. The average lands at $325,680, below the middle of the range.
- Minnesota ranks 5 of 50 states publishing a median for physicians, all other, at $367,320 — about 38.13% 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 Minnesota publishes a median for, physicians, all other sits 1 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 physicians, all other, whose median is $367,320, the adjusted figure of $231,471 differs little from $227,807 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $325,680 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of physicians, all other in Minnesota earn under $367,320 and half over. The published range runs $75,280 at the tenth percentile to $468,570 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Minnesota the take-home figure of $227,807, from $367,320, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 1 of 490 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $231,471 uses one figure for the whole of Minnesota. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 490 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 1.
- Figures are distribution medians for physicians, all other in Minnesota, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $75,280 to $468,570; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for Minnesota is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $227,807 from $367,320. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 1 of 490 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $231,471, worked from $367,320, 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 Minnesota address, on work sitting at 1 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $325,680, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $75,280 and the top tenth $468,570 — 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 $231,471 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 Minnesota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $227,807 of this wage survives to your account.
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.
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 Minnesota is $325,680. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($75,280) and the ninetieth ($468,570) 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 $231,471 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 $227,807 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.
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.
