The median annual wage for nurse practitioners working in Oklahoma City, OK, sits at $133,390, per BLS survey data. It runs 3% above the national median of $129,030 for this occupation — pay here is notably stronger than the U.S. average. The middle 50% land between $124,460 and $139,190 — a 14,730 range that reflects differences in seniority, employer type, and specialization. The average (mean) of $134,480 comes in higher than the median, which usually means a share of high earners is pulling the average up. The catch: Oklahoma City is roughly in line with the national cost of living (cost index 100 against a 100 baseline), so that headline number buys less than it would elsewhere. On an hourly basis that is about $64.13, useful for comparing contract or part-time offers.

For context, the national median for nurse practitioners across all U.S. metros in our data is $129,030.
