CNA Salary Range. By comparison to other careers there is not a significant range in CNA salaries. Comparing the lowest paying State (Puerto Rico $19,400) and highest paying State (Alaska $37,300) and also comparing the bottom 10% ($19,390) and top 10% ($36,890) CNA salaries overall the range is only approximately $17,500.
Some of these things the CNA is able to control, such as the experience that he or she has and the place where he or she works. Some things, such as the set salary a business will pay to a CNA, are out of the CNA's control. For a CNA in Texas, the average salary ranges from around $20,000 to $24,000 a year. For many Texas CNAs, this is a comfortable salary.
