What our data shows for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers

RoleHue publishes 26 salary records for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers, across 2 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $72,632 at the 25th percentile to $130,472 at the 75th, a spread of $57,840 around $109,304. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $109,304 figure rather than in dollars (53% of it), that spread is wider than 87% of the roles we cover, so a single figure summarises this title worse than it does most others.

Cambridge, MA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $119,808; New York, NY the lowest at $98,800, a gap of $21,008.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is Cambridge, MA, with 13 of the 26 records we publish for this role (50%). No city here reaches 25 records, the depth we treat as our threshold for calling a city median well evidenced, so every city median on this page rests on fewer records than that.
