Practical market context, not a synthetic salary survey.
These salary pages are built from active CRNA job postings on Anesthesio that include structured compensation data. We use salary ranges from current listings, compute midpoints for directional market comparisons, and surface percentile bands to show spread rather than pretending the market has one exact number.
That means this page is best used for market orientation: understanding where current openings cluster, how wide compensation ranges look, and which states or metros are paying above or below the middle of the market right now.
