What acupuncturists make

Part-time or new

$33,000

Busy full-time clinic

$80,000

Job Bank's national median is $32,867 a year, and that is also its low figure. It is the census floor: at least half of acupuncturists reported income at or below it, because most are self-employed and many work part time or split their week with another job. A full-time practice with a steady patient list earns much more. The high end is about $79,500.
