How the math works
Transparent by design
- 1
Annualize your CRNA base pay
Hourly pay is multiplied by hours per week and weeks per year. Weekly uses weeks per year; monthly uses 12 months.
- 2
Place it on the CRNA BLS vector
We compare annualized pay with published nurse anesthetist percentiles for SOC 29-1151.
- 3
Label the approximation
Gaps between published points use linear interpolation. Outside the 10th to 90th range, results are labeled only as below or above the published threshold.

Common questions
CRNA nurse salary FAQ
How much do CRNAs make?
The national median annual wage for nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) was $236,590 in May 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Half of CRNAs earned less and half earned more. State, metro, practice model, call burden, and employment type (W-2 vs 1099) can change pay substantially.
What is the average CRNA nurse salary?
BLS publishes percentile wages rather than a single average. The May 2025 national median for nurse anesthetists (SOC 29-1151) is $236,590 per year. Means can differ from medians when high earners pull the average up.
How is my CRNA salary percentile estimated?
The calculator annualizes the base pay and schedule you enter, then linearly interpolates between the BLS 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile wage thresholds for Nurse Anesthetists (SOC 29-1151). Values outside that published range are labeled only as below the 10th or above the 90th threshold.
Does the comparison include call pay, overtime, or 1099 packages?
No. Enter base pay only. The comparison excludes call pay, overtime, stipends, productivity incentives, insurance, retirement contributions, and other benefits. Advertised 1099 totals are not the same as OEWS base wages.
Should RNs or NPs use this page?
RNs comparing staff nurse base pay should use the RN salary calculator (SOC 29-1141). Nurse practitioners should use the NP salary calculator (SOC 29-1171). This page is for nurse anesthetist / CRNA occupation wages.
