What chiropractors make

Median

$79,200

Bottom tenth

$43,460

Top tenth

$146,080

The national median is $79,200 a year, the bottom tenth earn $43,460 or less and the top tenth $146,080 or more (2025 federal wage survey). These are the federal wage survey figures for chiropractors who are paid a salary. Owners who keep the profit of their own clinic sit above the survey, and so do the ones who fail at it, in the other direction.
