Neurosurgeons are among the most highly paid members of the medical field. According to the 2010 MGMA Physician Compensation Report (based on 2009 data), the average income for neurosurgeons is about $675,825. The median or midpoint is $600,525. The top ten percent earn up to $1,072,089. It's important to note that this is a particularly competitive sub-field within the medical field requiring extensive education.

The median expected salary for a typical Physician - Neurology in the United States is $226,421. This basic market pricing report was prepared using our Certified Compensation Professionals' analysis of survey data collected from thousands of HR departments at employers of all sizes, industries and geographies.\

With this you are able to get a better estimate of what you would make depending on what state you are living in so just go to the website that is seen above and on the right hand side will say state or zip code press enter and you will see how much the neurosurgeon is getting paid in your state.

John’s Answer

It's hard to give an exact answer for a question like this, I would suggest using a site like Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm). Sites like Glassdoor are basically an anonymous form of social media for professionals to discuss salaries and the workplace environment.

John recommends the following next steps:

Visit Glassdoor! (https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm)
Search for your desired job; in this case, "neurosurgeon".
Read about other neurosurgeon's experiences and see salary ranges.
