Physician Assistant Compensation by Specialty - Latest Benchmarks

We believe salary transparency shouldn't cost hundreds of dollars or depend on employer-reported data. While we still have room to grow, Marit puts the power back in the hands of clinicians — to create fairer, more informed conversations about pay in medicine. If you support more transparency in medicine - take a minute to add your anonymous salary.

Finally, salary data that works for you

Free & Accessible

Forget the $800+ benchmarking reports. Marit uses a simple "give-to-get" model: share your anonymous salary to unlock full access to all the salaries shared by your peers — all for free.

Truly Detailed

Marit goes beyond averages. Not only do we collect the most detailed salary information, but we also allow you to explore the anonymized, individual salaries underlying the averages.

Real-Time Insights

Most annual salary reports are often outdated before they're even published, but Marit’s data updates with each new salary shared — giving you a real-time view of the market.

Sub-Specialty Precision

Most benchmarks stop at broad specialties. Marit drills deeper, offering sub-specialty data that reflects the true value of your advanced training — no more blending with unrelated roles.

Local-Level Accuracy

MGMA only shows you regional snapshots. Marit supports state-level filtering (with city-level insights coming soon). You’ll finally see the market rates for where you actually work.

Diverse Sampling

Our "give-to-get" model welcomes clinicians, across all settings and experience levels — not just large employers or prize-hunters. That means more honest, representative salary data.

Marit is the only benchmark (free or paid) that offers everyone a view of the salary details underling their averages

FAQs

Easy answers to the questions we hear most

We do everything we can to preserve the anonymity of every salary while still collecting enough information and context to be helpful to the community. For example, we do not ask for the employer's name, nor do we show the exact location if it is in a smaller city or sub-specialty. Additionally, if there are still concerns about anonymity, every user has the ability to remove their salary at any time.
