Home Health Aide Salary in Phoenix, AZ (2026)

What home health aide pay in Phoenix really looks like

Phoenix tracks the national market almost exactly. The local home health aide median of about $17.75 an hour ($36,930 a year) sits within 3% ($1,130) of the U.S. median of $35,800, so national salary benchmarks translate cleanly to this metro — the number you have seen quoted nationally is, give or take, what home health aides actually earn in Phoenix.

Pay is tightly clustered here: the 25th-to-75th-percentile band runs just $34,840 to $38,620 (BLS). A narrow spread means the metro median is a dependable expectation rather than a midpoint between wildly different jobs — there is little room above it without a credential, a specialty, or a supervisory step, so the ladder up is about the role, not just the employer.

This is a substantial local market: BLS estimates roughly 57,940 home health aide jobs across the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro area (a count of metro employment, not a survey of reported salaries). A deep employer base is good news for pay — it means more openings to compare side by side, more turnover creating vacancies, and more leverage to hold out for an employer at the top of the local range instead of settling for the first offer that lands.

Right now, Jobeezy is tracking 24 open home health aide jobs in Phoenix against the BLS $36,930 benchmark — the live listings and the employers hiring are below, so you can see which openings actually clear the metro median before you apply.

Put it together and the picture for Phoenix is concrete: a metro median of $36,930 with most home health aides landing between $34,840 and $38,620. The practical move is to aim for the upper half of that band. Jobeezy fit-scores local home health aide openings, surfaces the employers posting toward $38,620, and applies for you — so your time goes to the jobs that clear the Phoenix median, not the ones that sit under it.
