Registered Nurses salary in North Carolina
Salary talk gets noisy fast, so I try to keep it plain. In North Carolina, registered nurses earned a median of $84,350 a year. From there, this page walks through the range, the hourly rate, how many people do the job here, and what stays in your pocket after federal tax and FICA.
MEDIAN ANNUAL SALARY
$41 per hour at the median · That is $13,200 (13.5 percent) below the national median of $97,550 for this occupation.
Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $78,770 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $84,350 |
| 75th percentile | $102,040 |
| Mean | $90,470 |
The middle half of workers earned from $78,770 to $102,040 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY
Caveat: the North Carolina rate is from NCDOR, but the $12,750 deduction comes from the statute text, not an NCDOR deduction page.
