Staged pending compensation-review approvalCardiology wRVU Compensation Calculator
Model base salary, productivity thresholds, conversion rates, quality bonuses, and call pay using your contract terms.
Direct answer: CMS publishes work RVUs, but it does not publish cardiologist compensation rates. This calculator applies your own annual wRVUs, threshold, and dollars-per-wRVU terms without inventing market percentiles.

How this calculator works
- 1. Productivity bonus equals work RVUs above the contract threshold multiplied by the user-entered conversion rate.
- 2. Total modeled compensation adds base, productivity, quality, and call pay.
- 3. FTE-normalized values are displayed for comparison only.
Sources and version
Every result includes its evidence version. Official sources outrank secondary summaries, and user-entered scenario assumptions remain visibly separate from published facts.
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: 2026 Physician Fee Schedule Relative Value Files
Official explanation of work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs; not a compensation benchmark.

Limitations

- • Contract definitions may credit or exclude services differently.
- • Licensed MGMA/AMGA/MedAxiom percentiles are not reproduced.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a CMS conversion factor equal my dollars per wRVU?
- No. The Medicare conversion factor determines reimbursement. Your employment conversion rate is a contract term.
