Average annual compensation for US anesthesiologists reached $557,131 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for physicians working in the specialty.

US anesthesiologists recorded average annual compensation of $557,131, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides anesthesiologists with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating their compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice.

Key findings

Doximity reports average annual compensation of $557,131 for anesthesiologists in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report.

For anesthesiologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty encompassing perioperative care, anesthesia delivery, patient monitoring and the management of patients before, during and after procedures.

The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every anesthesiologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, workload, call responsibilities, clinical focus, practice setting and employment structure.

Anesthesiologist compensation reaches $557,131

The $557,131 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US anesthesiologists.

Anesthesiology encompasses care across the perioperative pathway, including preoperative assessment, delivery and management of anesthesia, intraoperative monitoring and postoperative care.

Individual anesthesiologists may work across general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and other procedural areas. Some physicians also develop additional expertise in fields such as critical care, pain medicine, cardiac anesthesia or pediatric anesthesia.

These differences can produce substantially different clinical workloads and working arrangements within the specialty.

For anesthesiologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed.

What influences anesthesiologist compensation?

Anesthesiology is closely linked to surgical and procedural activity, meaning clinical workload, case mix, working hours and call commitments can all be important when evaluating individual compensation.

The complexity of cases and the clinical environment can also influence the demands of a role. An anesthesiologist supporting complex cardiac or neurosurgical procedures, for example, may have a substantially different practice profile from one working primarily within an ambulatory surgical setting.

Out-of-hours coverage can be another important consideration. Hospitals providing emergency surgery, trauma services, obstetric care and other continuous services may require anesthesiologists to participate in overnight and weekend call schedules.

Geography, experience and employment structure can further influence compensation, with anesthesiologists working across hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, anesthesia groups and other practice models.

These factors mean the $557,131 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every anesthesiologist.

What the latest figure means for anesthesiologists

For US anesthesiologists, $557,131 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking current compensation or evaluating a prospective position.

When assessing an employment opportunity, anesthesiologists should consider the headline compensation alongside expected clinical hours, procedure volumes, case complexity, call frequency, weekend coverage and productivity requirements.

The structure of the anesthesia service is also important. Two roles carrying the same specialty title can involve very different schedules, clinical responsibilities and contractual arrangements.

The latest Doximity figure therefore provides anesthesiologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the workload and structure of a particular position.

About the data

The Doximity 2026 Physician Compensation Report provides compensation benchmarks across a wide range of US medical and surgical specialties.

The specialty figures represent average compensation and should be treated as national benchmarks. An individual anesthesiologist’s compensation may differ according to geography, experience, clinical workload, call responsibilities, practice setting and other professional factors.
