How to Read These Numbers

COL-Adjusted Salary

Divides the median salary by the cost-of-living index and multiplies by 100. A state with a $210,000 salary and a COL index of 90 has an adjusted salary of $233,333 — meaning your dollar goes further.

State Tax Rate

Approximate top marginal state income tax rate. States like Texas, Florida, Washington, Tennessee, and Nevada have no state income tax — which can mean $10,000-$20,000 more in take-home per year.

Practice Authority

Full practice authority states allow CRNAs to practice without physician supervision agreements. This typically creates more market competition for CRNAs and can push compensation higher.

Call Rates

Typical market rates for in-house and home call shifts. If your contract bundles call into base salary, you could be leaving $15,000-$25,000 per year on the table.
