Compare Travel Nurse Contracts Side by Side

Put up to three offers next to each other and see which one actually pays more once stipends, hours and tax are separated out.

⚠️ After-tax pay is unavailable for this state combination

We compute federal income tax and FICA from published IRS and SSA figures, but we do not yet have a sourced bracket schedule for every state — and your home state taxes you as a resident even when your assignment state does not. Rather than guess at the missing piece, we withhold the net figure. Understating your tax would be as harmful as overstating it. Gross pay, stipends and the federal and FICA line items are unaffected.

Contracts below are ranked by gross weekly pay while after-tax figures are unavailable.
