What family doctors make
Median
$244,180
Bottom tenth
$76,830
Top tenth
$428,550
The national median is $244,180 a year, the bottom tenth sit near $76,830 and the top tenth near $428,550. One important caution: the federal survey counts physicians who are employed and paid a wage. Family doctors who own their practice or are partners in a group are not in it, and the low end mostly reflects part-time work rather than a normal full-time salary.
