Practical market context, not a synthetic salary survey.
These salary pages are built from active CAA job postings on Anesthesio that include structured compensation data. We use salary ranges from current listings, compute midpoints for directional market comparisons, and surface percentile bands to show spread rather than pretending the market has one exact number.
That means this page is best used for market orientation: understanding where current openings cluster, how wide compensation ranges look, and which states or metros are paying above or below the middle of the market right now.
Based on current salary-bearing CAA listings on Anesthesio, the market midpoint in Georgia is around $250,000, with most current salary ranges clustering between $235,000 and $270,000.
Georgia currently sits above the national midpoint on Anesthesio’s active salary-bearing listings. That does not mean every job in the state pays more or less — it just means the current state-level market signal is moving higher than the national center.
On active Georgia postings, permanent CAA roles show a median of $250,000 ($233,125 to $280,000 middle range), while locums postings annualize to a median of $431,600 from their hourly rates at 2,080 hours. Locums figures are gross contract rates without benefits, so compare them with the W-2 vs 1099 tool before treating the gap as take-home.
Use it to benchmark whether a target job looks below-market, near-market, or above-market for Georgia, then open individual listings and the Offer Comparison tool when you need to model taxes, bonuses, or employment-structure tradeoffs on a real offer.
