What do APPs earn?
Three separate answers for your role and state — what employers advertise, what the federal wage survey measures, and what clinicians report themselves. We never average them together.
A public page. Nothing here is personalized, and choosing a role or state saves nothing about you.

Total package
Base pay is only half the FQHC offer. Loan repayment is tax-free and paid to your servicer, so it is worth more than the same amount of salary.
Base pay source
Service commitment
Base pay
$129,500
Yearly, from the posted source
Loan repayment
$37,500
A year, from a $75,000 two-year NHSC award. Tax-free.
Effective yearly value
$167,000
Base plus the yearly award. RSUs are not included.
Base
Loan
$129,500 base plus $37,500 of yearly loan repayment. RSUs are deliberately absent from this bar — they are national, self-reported and not added to pay.
Loan repayment, in detail
- Program
- NHSC Loan Repayment, FY2026
- Initial commitment

- Award

Award size follows your commitment and discipline, never the site's HPSA score — that score affects how likely funding is, not how much. A Spanish-proficiency enhancement can add $5,000 under HRSA's stated conditions.

Why three figures, and not one average
Averaging them would hide what makes each one useful. A single blended number would look more precise and mean less, so this page never produces one.
