Ohio pay context
Ohio CRNA wages vs the national median
Ohio's May 2025 median for nurse anesthetists ($231,810) sits 2% below the national median ($236,590). The gap is small on paper. Inside the state, published medians swing from roughly $211,810 in Akron to $323,490 in Eastern Ohio nonmetropolitan areas, so the facility and region matter more than the statewide figure.

CRNA jobs and hiring in Ohio
Ohio's statewide median looks close to the national figure, but the metro table tells a different story. Cleveland and Columbus sit near the state median, while Eastern Ohio nonmetropolitan areas publish a median above $320,000. Toledo and Dayton land between those poles. Treat that as geography and employer mix, not a job-count claim.
Large health systems cluster along the Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati corridors, with community hospitals and surgery centers filling much of the rest of the map. Ohio opted out of the federal Medicare rule that otherwise requires physician supervision of CRNAs (governor letter in July 2026), so federal billing rules no longer force that model statewide. Day-to-day autonomy still comes down to facility policy and the care-team language on the posting. Ohio also has a state income tax, so take-home on a similar W-2 can differ from no-tax states even when base pay looks close.
- Ask whether an advertised package is base-only, call-heavy, or 1099 before you compare it to the OEWS median.
- Confirm privileges, practice model, and malpractice terms with the employer. Those are offer-specific.

Common questions
Ohio CRNA salary FAQ
How much do CRNAs make in Ohio?
The Ohio median annual wage for nurse anesthetists was $231,810 in May 2025, according to BLS OEWS data. That sits about 2% below the national median of $236,590. The Ohio 10th to 90th range ran from $148,690 to $329,690, and some nonmetro areas publish higher medians than Cleveland or Columbus.
Why do some Ohio nonmetro CRNA medians beat the big cities?
OEWS reports what employers paid in each published area during the survey period. Eastern and West Northwestern Ohio nonmetro medians sit well above Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati in the May 2025 tables. That can reflect recruitment premiums, facility mix, or small sample quirks. Use the metro table on this page for the area you are targeting, not the state headline alone.
How is my Ohio CRNA salary percentile estimated?
The calculator annualizes the base pay you enter, then interpolates between Ohio's BLS 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile 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 this include call pay or 1099 packages?
No. Enter base pay only. Call pay, overtime, stipends, and 1099 package totals are excluded. Advertised totals are not the same as OEWS base wages.
What should I check when applying for an Ohio CRNA job?
Match the metro or nonmetro area against the wage table, ask whether pay is W-2 or 1099, clarify call and practice model, and verify privileges and malpractice terms in writing. Ohio opted out of the federal Medicare CRNA supervision requirement in 2026, but facility policy still sets day-to-day autonomy. For how to decode listing labels, see the nurse anesthetist jobs guide.
