Source
Based on 65 active postings with listed compensation for Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. We prioritize postings with explicit hourly or annual pay and exclude rows without usable compensation signals from salary percentiles.

Percentiles show the spread of posted pay, not a guaranteed offer or take-home pay after taxes. State and city views use available market observations and label estimated values when direct samples are limited.
Freshness
Current dataset window: 2025-11-01 to 2026-04-30. Recent trend cards compare the latest posting window with the prior period so short-term pay movement is separated from the full historical median.
