What massage therapists make
Median
$58,450
Lower tenth
$33,640
Top tenth
$100,200
The national median is $58,450 a year and the bottom tenth earn about $33,640. 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 roughly 20 to 25 sessions a week.
