New Report On How Much a PA Makes for 2018
I recently wrote a post covering an Overview of 2018 PA Salary Reports and soon after the AAPA 2018 report was published. Usually this happens later in the year, so I wasn’t expecting it to come out so soon. It had some interesting new information, including an increase in PA salaries to $105,000.

I’ve updated the Overview with the following information:
AAPA Salary Survey
Reported PA Salary – $105,000
The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) is the national professional society for PAs. The AAPA advocates for PAs and provides educational opportunities. It sends out an annual salary survey to all the members who have not opted out of communication from the AAPA.
The 2018 survey had a very low response rate with only 9,140 respondents. The data is collected from the previous calendar year, so the 2018 survey is based on data from 2017.
The median salary for the 2018 AAPA annual salary report was $105,000, an increase of 2.9% compared to the previous year. The salary in the AAPA report is based on base salary alone; with separate information on bonus. The 50th percentile for full-time employed PAs earned $6,000 in bonus. This year’s report showed that PAs paid based on productivity earned a median salary of $150,000.
Of all the salary reports the AAPA salary survey is the most comprehensive. It breaks the data down by state, and even shows data for benefits including; time off, insurance, retirement, etc.
