About Salary Explorer

Behind the data
Only full-time (non-resident) salaries are included in our data set.
For employed physicians, base salary, bonus, and profit sharing contributions are included.
For owners and partners, income is earnings after taxes and deductible business expenses before income taxes.
All data is aggregated geographically to the nearest DMA (Designated Market Area) to ensure physician anonymity.
