A comparison benchmark, not a pay package

The weekly figure is a modeled gross-wage benchmark before taxes, not a guaranteed rate. Actual packages vary with taxable wage, stipends, shift, experience, overtime, benefits, reimbursements, and the agency or facility.

What makes it trustworthy is that every input is public and auditable: the BLS wage, the CMS-derived facility premium, the 7-hospital sample behind it, and the assumptions (30% margin, 36-hour week). Download the CSV and check our math.
