Long career, balanced life. Experienced hospital-based anesthesiologists often make more than $350,000 a year. Compared with other medical specialties, the pay for anesthesiologists is in the top 5%, says Dennis E. Kane, DO, the president of the American Osteopathic College of Anesthesiologists.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in May 2014 that the mean hourly wage for anesthesiologists was $118.42, while the mean yearly income was $246,320 (www.bls.gov). Those who were in the lowest ten percent of wages reported had yearly salaries of $151,450 or less.
