Methodology and Data Sources

Base salary estimates start from BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2024 data for psychologist occupational categories (SOC 19-3030, 19-3032, 19-3033, 19-3034, 19-3039). State multipliers are derived from BLS state-level mean wage data for all psychologist categories.

Specialty adjustments are based on BLS specialty-level data where available (I-O, clinical, school) and on professional association surveys for specialties without dedicated BLS codes (forensic, neuropsychology).

This calculator provides salary estimates for informational purposes only. Actual compensation depends on many factors including employer, negotiation, benefits, and local market conditions. The estimates represent typical ranges, not guarantees.
