Pay data from live postings
Based on 107 respiratory therapist job postings open right now on Vast Job Finder. Updated monthly.
The salary figures below come from 107 active respiratory therapist job postings currently listed on this board. Employers post positions using two different pay structures that reflect different employment models. The 74 postings with hourly rates, which typically represent permanent or staff positions, show a median of $31.04/hr with the middle 50 percent of positions ranging from $30.73/hr to $39.29/hr. The 33 postings with weekly rates, which typically represent travel or contract work, show a median of $2,098/wk with the middle 50 percent of positions ranging from $1,812/wk to $2,425/wk. These two bases should not be compared directly as they reflect different employment arrangements.

How we calculate this. Figures come from pay ranges published in job postings currently live on Vast Job Finder, not from a salary survey or self-reported data. We use each posting’s starting pay and publish a figure only when at least 25 postings support it. Employers quote pay differently, so weekly and annual figures are converted to an hourly equivalent at 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year to make them comparable. Travel and contract assignments are shown separately from staff roles because the work and the pay structure differ. Recomputed monthly as inventory turns over.
