What massage therapists make
Median
$33,000
Lower end, the same as the median
$33,000
Upper end
$62,000
These are Job Bank (the Government of Canada job site) figures for massage therapists, a year, from the 2021 Census (Statistics Canada). Job Bank notes that a large number of massage therapists are self-employed. The median and the lower end are the same, $33,000. RMTs (registered massage therapists) are paid per treatment, not per hour on shift, so income depends on how many hours you can fill and how much of the fee you keep.
