Because colorectal surgeons are often also general surgeons, the salary range depends to some extent on the number of colorectal cases a surgeon performs. In mid-sized urban areas where there are a fair number of colorectal cases but not a major academic center, colorectal surgeons in the community can have a high fraction of specialty cases.

Locum tenens positions will often set base pay scale on the national average income. The pay can be adjusted by local cost-of-living difference from the national average.

In evaluating surgical physician jobs, it is useful to know the average pay for a both general surgery and subspecialty surgeons. Independent of locum tenens positions, the national average of physician salaries in different specialties is often used as a target: a physician who generates the average patient income for the specialty receives the average . Bonuses are often pegged to the amount of income generated above the average.

The average physician salary for an internist (see Internal Medicine Survey) can be used as a benchmark for comparison with other medical specialities.
