What the wage survey shows

Group median

$110,840

Bottom tenth

$54,990

Top tenth

$168,520

Read this one carefully. The federal wage survey has no line for behavior analysts, so they are counted inside a broad group called psychologists, all other, which mostly covers other kinds of psychologists. In the 2025 survey that group's median is $110,840 a year, the bottom tenth earn $54,990 or less and the top tenth $168,520 or more. The survey does not show where behavior analysts fall inside that range.
