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. |
