The median annual wage for physical therapists was $95,620 in May 2021. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $61,930, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $127,110.

Ken’s Answer
It's hard to say how much an average PT makes. The biggest factors are location, responsibilities and experience. Some markets like NV and NJ pay much more than others like Pittsburgh for the same type of position. But if you are inclined and savvy with the business side of the career you can do quite well regardless of location. Clinic directors who are good at marketing can earn incomes well into the six-figure range.
