Radiation therapist salary by state

How much does a Radiation Therapist earn?

Earlier cancer diagnoses and new technologies are driving the need for more radiation therapists. The aging population is also precipitating this demand, since the risk of cancer increases with age. Radiation therapist salaries depend partially on where one lives and the cost of care in that particular area. The figures vary widely based on skill set and workplace (hospital, physicians office or an outpatient centre).

If you work in this field, you can expect an average salary of $81,000. This is approximately $30,000 above the US household median salary. Radiation therapists salaries are the highest in Tampa, Florida, as well as in California, particularly in San Jose and San Diego. General and surgical hospitals employ the highest numbers of therapists, though specialty hospitals tend to pay the best.
