Infusion Nurse Salary Calculator

1. Choose hourly rate or annual salary, then enter your base pay, your regular hours per week and your weeks per year.
2. Add the pay extras that apply to you: certification or charge pay, on-call pay and overtime. Every extra comes from your own offer letter or pay stub. Leave a field blank if it does not apply.
3. Read your total annual gross pay, then see where your base rate sits in the BLS wage table for all registered nurses.

What each result tells you:

The presets are examples, not typical wages. The first one shows a nurse paid $48.00 an hour for 40 hours a week. That is $99,840.00 a year, about the 54th percentile for all registered nurses. BLS publishes no wage figure for infusion nurses, so no result on this page is an infusion-only number.

An infusion nurse salary is the gross yearly pay of a registered nurse who works in infusion therapy. It is base pay plus any certification pay, on-call pay and overtime. The Infusion Nurses Society describes infusion therapy as a specialty practice. It is not a separate licence.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not count infusion nurses apart from other nurses. They fall under Registered Nurses, code 29-1141. BLS defines that code as nurses who administer nursing care to ill, injured, convalescent or disabled patients, with a licence required. The infusion credential itself requires an active registered nurse licence.

The credential facts come from the INCC exam overview, read on 2026-10-02. INCC says the 1,600 hours may be in clinical practice, education, administration or research within the infusion specialty. The job figures come from the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook.

This tool is for nurses weighing an infusion offer. It is not a pay quote from any employer.

The calculator builds total pay from your base rate and your own extras, then places the base rate alone in the BLS wage distribution for all registered nurses.

1. Convert. An hourly rate is multiplied by regular hours and weeks. A salary is divided by them to get the base rate.
2. Add certification or charge pay. Certification or charge pay = rate per hour x paid hours in the year.
3. Add on-call pay. On-call pay = on-call hours per week x on-call rate x weeks.
4. Add overtime. Overtime rate = (base rate + certification or charge pay + average differential per hour) x multiplier. Overtime pay = overtime hours per week x overtime rate x weeks. On-call standby pay is left out of the overtime rate.
5. Find the band. The base rate is checked against the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentile wages.
6. Interpolate. W1 and W2 are the two BLS wages around your base rate. P1 and P2 are their percentiles.

The wage table below is for all registered nurses. Infusion nurses are inside it, mixed with every other registered nurse specialty.

BLS publishes no wage figure for infusion nurses. The table above covers all registered nurses in code 29-1141. BLS annual wages equal the hourly wage times 2,080 hours.

A nurse at an outpatient infusion center earns $51.50 an hour for 36 hours a week. Her employer adds $1.25 an hour for the CRNI credential. She carries the after-hours phone 16 hours a week at $3.50 an hour and averages 2 overtime hours a week. A second employer offers $54.00 an hour.

Her extras add $13,481.52 a year, which is 14.0% on top of base pay. Her base rate still sits near the 66th percentile for all registered nurses. The second offer raises base pay by $4,680.00 a year. She should ask whether it also pays for call and the credential before she compares totals.

Work Setting

Setting moves pay for registered nurses as a whole. BLS reports a median of $100,220 in hospitals and $91,230 in ambulatory healthcare services. BLS places home healthcare, physician offices and outpatient care centers inside ambulatory healthcare services.

The five industries that employ the most registered nurses. Source: BLS OEWS, May 2025. Read on 2026-10-02. BLS does not say how many of these nurses work in infusion.

Certification Pay

Some employers pay an hourly add-on for the CRNI credential and some pay nothing. No official source reports a typical amount. Enter the figure in your own offer, or leave the field blank.

On-Call Hours

BLS notes that nurses may be on call. Standby pay depends on your employer policy. Enter your own standby hours and rate. The tool keeps standby pay out of the overtime rate.

The Overtime Rate

The Department of Labor states that the regular rate includes shift differentials. The tool follows that rule. It multiplies base rate plus certification pay plus the average differential per hour by your multiplier. On-call standby pay stays out of the overtime rate. Hospitals may also use an 8 and 80 system instead of the 40-hour week, so check which one your employer uses.

Overtime raises total pay but not the BLS comparison. The overtime pay calculator handles more detailed overtime cases, such as double time.

Hours per Week

At the same hourly rate, 36 hours a week pays 10% less a year than 40 hours. The tool compares hourly rates so both schedules are judged fairly.

BLS has no pay table for infusion nurses by setting. For all registered nurses, the hospital median is $8,990 a year higher than the ambulatory healthcare median.

Source: BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, Registered Nurses. Read on 2026-10-02. The government row excludes state and local education and hospitals.

The broad groups hide detail. Outpatient care centers sit inside ambulatory healthcare, yet their mean wage for registered nurses is $112,690. That is above the national mean of $101,420. A mean and a median are different measures, so do not subtract one from the other.

Use the table as background only. A hospital infusion center, an oncology clinic and a home infusion company can each pay above or below these medians.

Pricing an Offer with Call

Enter the base rate, then the call hours and standby rate. Twenty call hours a week at $4.00 an hour adds $4,160.00 a year.

Valuing a CRNI Differential

Enter the hourly add-on your employer offers. At $1.50 an hour it is worth $2,808.00 a year on 36 hours a week.

Comparing a Clinic Job with a Home Infusion Job

Run each offer with its own hours, call and overtime. Compare the total annual pay and the average per hour worked, not the base rate alone.

Moving Between Nursing Specialties

The same broader wage table sits behind the telehealth nurse salary calculator and the flight nurse salary calculator. Each one models different pay extras.

Budgeting After Tax

The result is gross pay. Read the gross vs net income guide before you plan a household budget from it.

1. Reading the Percentile as an Infusion Nurse Rank

The percentile ranks your base rate among all registered nurses. No official ranking exists for infusion nurses alone.

2. Counting Call Hours as Hours Worked

Standby hours are paid at the standby rate. Hours you are called in are paid at your base or overtime rate. Enter them in the right fields, or the total is too high.

3. Assuming Certification Always Raises Pay

The CRNI credential shows competence. A pay add-on is an employer choice. Check the offer letter before you count on it.

4. Adding Mileage Repayments to Pay

A home infusion nurse may be repaid for driving. A repayment of costs is not a wage, so leave it out of the other pay field.

5. Comparing a 36-Hour Year with the BLS Annual Wage

BLS annual wages assume 2,080 hours. A nurse on 1,872 hours a year looks underpaid against them. The salary to hourly calculator shows the hourly side of any salary.

The pay arithmetic is exact for the numbers you enter. The percentile is an estimate, and it describes all registered nurses, not infusion nurses alone.

BLS wages are straight-time gross pay. They exclude overtime pay and shift differentials. The tool therefore compares your base rate only and reports the extras apart.

No official figure exists for infusion nurses alone. BLS counts them as registered nurses, whose median wage was $46.90 an hour, or $97,550 a year, in May 2025. The middle half of all registered nurses earned between $80,330 and $112,350.

No. BLS publishes one wage table for Registered Nurses, code 29-1141, and it does not split that table by specialty. Any infusion-only salary figure you see elsewhere comes from a private survey or a job site, not from BLS.

It depends on the employer. Some pay an hourly add-on or a bonus for the credential and others do not. No official source reports a typical CRNI premium, so this calculator uses only the amount you enter.

INCC requires an active, unrestricted registered nurse licence in the United States and at least 1,600 hours of infusion therapy experience as a registered nurse within the past two years. INCC notes that 1,600 hours over two years is about 15 hours a week.

It is worth $2,808.00 a year on a 36-hour week and $3,120.00 a year on a 40-hour week. The formula is the hourly add-on times paid hours in the year.

On-call pay is your standby hours per week times your standby rate times your weeks per year. It is added to total pay. It does not change the BLS comparison, which uses your base rate only.

BLS cannot answer that for infusion nurses. For all registered nurses, the median annual wage was $100,220 in hospitals and $91,230 in ambulatory healthcare services, the group that includes home healthcare.

A base rate of $50.00 an hour is about the 61st percentile for all registered nurses. It sits between the median of $46.90 and the 75th percentile of $54.02.

Take-home pay depends on your tax filing status, state and deductions, and this tool does not estimate tax. It shows gross pay only, so every figure can be checked against your offer letter or pay stub.
