Podiatrist Earnings
Podiatrists enjoy very high earnings. Median annual earnings of salaried
podiatrists were $108,220 in 2006. Additionally, a survey by Podiatry
Management Magazine reported median net income of $114,000 in 2006.
Podiatrists in partnerships tended to earn higher net incomes than those in
solo practice. A salaried podiatrist typically receives heath insurance and
retirement benefits from their employer, whereas self-employed chiropractors
must provide for their own health insurance and retirement. Also, solo
practitioners must absorb the costs of running their own offices.for State specific information, visit JOB OUTLOOK BY STATE
