What's New at Marit? May 2025 Product Update
Last month, we launched a mobile app that brings the entire Marit experience to your phone, and we've made it easier than ever to explore trends in salary data by specialty, comp model, location, and more.

We often focus on how physician salaries compare across specialties. But there’s actually as much or more variation within each specialty, as there is across specialties. Doctors in the top 10% often earn 1.5 - 3.5 times more than those in the bottom 10%.

Where are Physicians Happiest With Their Pay?
In a previous post, we had explored the nuanced relationship between pay and satisfaction with pay. The key takeaway? More money doesn’t always mean more satisfaction with pay. The hours worked, benefits, practice type, and how much your peers make - all affect how physicians feel about what they earn. But there’s one factor that is probably more important than anything else - your location. Where you practice matters.

Physician compensation is shaped by a complex mix of factors - reimbursement rates, patient volume, hours worked, call schedules, payer mix and more. That’s why doctor salaries alone do not determine how satisfied they are with their pay. On Marit, the average physician satisfaction with compensation is 3.57★ out of 5, which is slightly above neutral. But how that satisfaction breaks down varies widely across the profession. Let's take a look.
