Online Salary Information

There are several Web-based salary tools, but most of them show advertising before giving you a free report.

  • Salary.com has the most data points for pediatricians. You enter your zip code, and if there is not enough data, it will not provide an answer. Coverage is quite comprehensive.

  • Payscale requires you to contribute your own data before it will give you an answer. There are a number of pages of data input required.

  • SalaryExpert also requires you to contribute your own data before it will give you an answer.

  • SalarySource only offers paid reports.

  • Glass Door offers salary information contributed anonymously by employees. For a pediatrician, this would be applicable only for large employers. There are a few contributions on the site, so it is worth checking.

  • The MGMA Physician Compensation and Production Survey: 2009 Report Based on 2008 Data has data representative of small group practices. This survey is available for purchase, but it costs a significant amount.
