About Map My Pay
Built by nurses. Built for nurses.
Map My Pay helps nurses see exactly what they'll take home — after taxes, after rent — in over 21,000 U.S. cities. No guessing. No surprises. Just real numbers.
Our story
From nurses who were tired of not knowing their real take-home pay.
Map My Pay was founded by Jason Nunez and Sumeet Kaur — both registered nurses at Kaiser Permanente — who kept asking the same question their colleagues couldn’t answer: “If I move to a new city, will I actually be better off?”
Salary numbers were easy to find. What wasn’t easy was understanding what those numbers actually meant after federal taxes, state taxes, and rent hit your bank account. A $120,000 nursing salary in San Francisco looks very different from the same salary in Phoenix.
So they built the tool they wished existed.
What we do
The nurse-first salary and financial intelligence platform.
Map My Pay is a nurse salary and financial intelligence platform. We combine BLS salary data, a proprietary 2026 tax engine, Zillow housing costs, and city-level data on crime, schools, hospitals, and weather — all in one app.
Whether you’re a new grad comparing your first job offers, a travel nurse planning your next contract, or a seasoned RN weighing a cross-country move, Map My Pay gives you the full financial picture in minutes.
