CPA Salary by State (2026)

Compare current accountants-and-auditors wage benchmarks across all 50 states, including annual mean, median, lower-end, and upper-end BLS percentiles.

The figures use May 2025 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for accountants and auditors. BLS does not publish CPA-only wages or experience-level salary bands, so each state page explains how to use the benchmarks.
