SoCal_PA Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This is non scientific and totally informal. How much money do you make per year not counting benefits? Just considering the annual money you are taxed on per year (Income + bonuses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexapro Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) My main job pays ~180k/year, this is not including benefits, 401k, etc. I have another 1099 gig paying me ~150/hr. I'm a psych NP though. Edited June 17, 2019 by Lexapro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceBanner Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Id like to see it broken down by specialty/job. I doubt many UC/FP PAs are making >151k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many UC/FP PAs are making >151k. not without overtime anyway...$65 hr(going rate for uc) x 40 hrs/week x 52 weeks/yr = $135,200. make it an avg of 45 hrs/week though and you hit 152,100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel like $150k is a pipe dream for most FP PAs. Urgent care maybe if you really put in the hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA-C Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Currently 100k/year. I’ll be earning more my second year when I become bonus eligible. I’m told the average 2nd year PA at the practice makes ~$150 - 180. PAs who have been there 3+ years typically make ~$200 - 250. Setting = suburban derm in the midwest 3 days/week 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inpatient services (consults, various psych units, etc.). Hospitalist group and model. Western US major metro. Very high COL here, though from what I understand, it's pretty common for psych NPs to bring in ~150k+ in major cities throughout the US, though you usually need 1-2 years experience. It's another 12k/year if you count the 401k contributions from my company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal_PA Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Strong work everyone. I should have made higher choices. I guess ill post mine too: 129k from salary, 5k signing bonus (new job) + decent benefits including 5 weeks PTO, medical, dental, malpractice etc Bonus structure of 5-10k/yr but I'm not counting that as it's not guaranteed. Also working part time ER at $750/10 hour shift. I can do 2-4 shifts/month With my math, this comes out to 129 + 5 + 18 (2 ER shifts/month) = 152k minimum. I will likely also be cashing out at least 2 weeks of PTO for an extra 5k. This is is my second year out of school. Let's increase that national average ladies and gents :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the excisions are sent to the MOHS surgeons and the surgical PA who was recently hired at the end of 2017. So I and the rest of the PAs do shaves, punches, ED&Cs, Cryo, Botox, Filler. We have a pretty high volume of people on the days we work, about 150 appointments a week. I’ve only been seeing patients for 4 months and have already completed ~2000 visits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airslant Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Family practice 40 hours per week with fast track per diem shifts with 5 years experience... $173,000 combined including 401k but not benefits plus 24,000 IHS loan repayment.

greenmood Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This info is interesting, but IMO useless without location details. I have this sense that location, even moreso than specialty, impacts pay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2018 yup, my rural ER gig pays $35/hr more than I made working at an urban trauma ctr...and now I see a dozen pts in 24 hrs instead of 24-30 pts in 12 hrs. life is good.

I agree, I have been saying this on here for years...Just cause you make 150K/year, but it cost you 650K to buy a average home, I do not want to live in that area...I would like to see people edit their post and put the approximate location then those numbers will mean much more due to COL.

ohiovolffemtp Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 $65/hour @ my FT ED gig, W2 with bennies. Did over 2,000 hours, some OT, prob made about $135,000. $70/hour @ my PT ED gig, W2, no bennies other than med-mal. Prob did about 500 hour, so another $35,000. So, about $170,000 total. 5 years out of school. Next year: much more time at home - made promise to the wife. Don't need to work anywhere near that much. Cost of 3,000 square foot custom home on 10 acres with pond: $500,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for those of us who like Rural America better than Urban America, we get the benefit of not only greater pay but also much lower COL. We just bought 75 acres of stunning land for $135K. Gonna build a $300K dream house on it. That house, with this land, in places along the coast would be worth many millions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
