Illinois Salary Percentiles (2026)

How This Data Is Built
RadBoard reads active radiology job postings and extracts advertised salary, wRVU rate, sign-on bonus and partnership status. Only postings that publish a figure enter the percentiles, so the numbers reflect offers on the open market in Illinois rather than blended national survey averages. Listings refresh continuously and this page recalculates on every crawl.
