Location<\/h3>\nHow Much Does a Radiation Therapist Professional\u00a0Make in the US?<\/h4>\nGeography plays the most important role in the salary of a radiation therapist.

More precisely, the annual wage in these locations is around\u00a0$104,000<\/strong>.\u00a0In addition, those working in Chicago, Washington, Atlanta<\/strong>, and Boston<\/strong> are also well-paid because in these locations the median radiation therapist salary ranges between $92,000<\/strong> and $96,000<\/strong> per year.<\/p>\nOn the other hand, radiation therapists from Los Angeles<\/strong> and Seattle<\/strong> make a salary of around $83,000<\/strong> per year. Even so, the lowest salaries are in Austin<\/strong> and Tampa<\/strong> as the median salary here is between $66,000<\/strong> and $72,000<\/strong> per year but still higher than the entry-level
