Nurse Midwives Salary in Michigan

The median is $116,810 a year, that works out to about $56 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $94,320, and experienced nurse midwives can clear $142,440. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $7,133/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,272/month, which eats 17.8% of your paycheck. That's under the 30% guideline most financial planners use, so the numbers work.

Michigan has a Regional Price Parity of 100 (100 is the national average). That's right at the national average. After cost-of-living adjustment, the median nurse midwives salary is worth about $124,412 in national-average purchasing power.

The table above ranks every state by median pay for this role. Keep in mind that the highest-paying states tend to have the highest costs of living, so the top salary doesn't always mean the most money in your pocket.
