What the pay survey shows
Median for the group
$420,860
Bottom tenth
$89,010
Top tenth
$594,410
The median for the group is $420,860 a year. The bottom tenth earn $89,010 or less and the top tenth $594,410 or more (2025 federal wage survey). The survey group behind these numbers is radiologists, the doctors who read medical images, and radiation oncologists are not broken out on their own. Both are certified by the same board. The survey only counts physicians who are paid as employees, so doctors who own their practice or are partners in a group are not in it.
