Ways to Increase Your Pay as a Radiology Technician

The more experience you have on the job, the higher your earning potential. However, those wanting to kick their salary up a notch in less time have a few options.

Accept Travel Jobs

In the healthcare industry, travel jobs often pay more than staff positions. You may even receive tax-free housing stipends to help cover the costs of staying in a different location while fulfilling your travel contract if you can claim a permanent tax home. By completing one long contract or several short contracts each year, it’s possible to increase your pay substantially.

As previously noted, Vivian’s salary date during the first week of December 2022 showed an average hourly salary of $35.44 for perm staff radiology technicians in California. For travel radiology technician roles, the average weekly salary jumps to $3,244 per week or about $81.10 per hour in a 40-hour workweek. Travel radiology technicians in Texas earned $2,628 per week, or about $65.70 hourly, compared to an average of $27.71 per hour for staff roles.

Though Florida tends to have lower average salaries than Texas and California, accepting a travel radiology technician job in the Sunshine State can be lucrative. Radiology technician jobs in Florida paid an average of $62, compared to the hourly $26.65 rate for staff technicians.
