How to read these figures
Ohio vs. the national figure
Each occupation is compared with its own national median from the same May 2025 release, and the national psychiatrist salary page gives the national distribution.
Ranks count only the jurisdictions (states plus DC) where BLS publishes that occupation’s figure.
Differences are whole percentages of the national figure, rounded half away from zero, computed from the figures shown.
By estimated employment, Ohio ranks 8th of 45 for psychiatrists.
A median $36,880 below national
The Ohio median of $244,990 is $36,880 below the national median of $281,870, a 13% gap, and the hourly median is $117.78 against $135.51 nationally.
Among the 46 jurisdictions where BLS publishes a psychiatrist median, Ohio ranks 30th.
The estimate rests on a comparatively large workforce for this occupation: an estimated 690 psychiatrists, 8th of the 45 jurisdictions where BLS publishes both a median and an employment estimate, so the Ohio row is above the small-sample threshold that limits many state psychiatrist rows to the median alone.
Above national only at the 25th percentile
Ohio psychiatrist pay runs from a 10th percentile of $82,650 to a 90th percentile of $423,440, a spread of $340,790, and the 90th is 5.1 times the 10th, against 5.3 times nationally.
The floor sits nearly level with national: the 10th percentile is $1,410 below the national 10th of $84,060, a 2% gap and the closest the two distributions come at any percentile.
One step up, the 25th percentile of $171,140 is $16,990 above the national 25th of $154,150, an 11% gap and the only percentile above its national counterpart.
From the median up Ohio is below again: the median is 13% under national, the 75th percentile of $311,190 is $51,550 below the national $362,740, a 14% gap and the widest at any percentile in dollars as well as percent, and the 90th percentile of $423,440 is $23,080 below the national 90th of $446,520.
The middle half spans $140,050 in Ohio, narrower than the national band of $208,590.
What this figure covers: Psychiatrists employed for wages.
OEWS does not count self-employed physicians or practice owners, and psychiatric nurse practitioners are in a separate occupation (29-1171, all nurse practitioners).
Reading an offer against these figures
Where an offer falls in this distribution matters more than the median alone, because the comparison against national changes across the distribution.
An offer at $244,990 is the Ohio median and $36,880 below the national median of $281,870.
An offer at the state's 25th percentile of $171,140 compares differently: at that percentile Ohio is above national, so the offer sits $16,990 above the national 25th percentile of $154,150, yet still below the national median of $281,870.
An offer at the state's 75th percentile of $311,190 sits $51,550 below the national 75th of $362,740.
Hourly offers compare with the Ohio hourly median of $117.78.
A percentile is a position in the state distribution, not a pay step or a reading of time in the field.
What this figure does and does not describe
This row is the BLS occupation for psychiatrists employed for wages.
It is not split by board certification or subspecialty, so it cannot say what a child and adolescent or addiction psychiatrist earns in Ohio, and it does not include other prescribers, whom BLS counts in occupations of their own.
Nor is it a count of licence holders: OEWS classifies workers by job duties, not by the credential they hold.
Before comparing an offer with this row, check what licence and certification the posting requires.
