What massage therapists make
Median
$58,450
Bottom tenth
$33,640
Top tenth
$100,200
The national median is $58,450 a year, the bottom tenth earn $33,640 or less and the top tenth $100,200 or more, in the 2025 survey. Read those with one thing in mind: almost nobody gives 40 hours of massage a week, because hands and shoulders will not take it. A busy full time therapist does far fewer hands-on hours than that.
