Registered Nurses salary in Pennsylvania
A job title alone does not tell you what you will earn. Place matters, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars. In Pennsylvania, registered nurses sat at a median of $96,430 a year, which is the figure I would use first when you compare offers.
MEDIAN ANNUAL SALARY
$46 per hour at the median · That is $1,120 (1.1 percent) below the national median of $97,550 for this occupation.
Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $80,610 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $96,430 |
| 75th percentile | $104,730 |
| Mean | $94,020 |
The middle half of workers earned from $80,610 to $104,730 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY
Caveat: the $0 deduction point for Pennsylvania was corroborated from a secondary host of the 2025 booklet, not from a pa.gov page.
Pennsylvania local earned income tax and the Philadelphia wage tax are separate and are not in this figure.
