hey there,

heart surgeons generally make a very respectable income regardless of their location (average U.S. income $390,000 to $610,000), the average salary of an open heart surgeon can vary from state to state and is partially based on how many operations and types of operations a surgeon performs within a given year among other essential factors such as their state of residence, state/government taxes, cost of living and negotiated salary which can all impact how much an open heart surgeon takes home at the end of the year.

Depending on the factors described above and other factors affecting an open heart surgeon’s salary, an open heart surgeon’s estimated yearly income can vary from $390,300 to $610,400 or more per year.
