I received a lot of private messages from MTs who didnt want to speak out, so here are the results of my survey. I am not a statistician. Just the simple facts: 53 people had usable answers. Solo practitioners who only told me what they CHARGE and not what their net profit is are not included. Of those 53: 7 work in a spa 2 work in a luxury spa 14 work in a chiro office 18 work in a massage office 3 work at Massage Envy 4 work in an MDs office 2 work in a hospital 1 works in a nursing home 1 works in a salon 14 are classified as ICs, but 4 of those said they know they are misclassified and should be employees 39 are classified as employees, but only 11 of those people get paid anything when they are not performing massage. 5 of the ICS say they get paid when they are not doing massage, ranging from minimum wage to $9 an hour. 5 of those 39 people say they have benefits, ranging from CEs to full benefits such as insurance and vacation time 18 reported that they are paid on commission, which ranged from 30% to 80%, and an average of 53% 2 people who said they were ICs said they pay a flat rent for the use of a massage room; 1 of those pays $10 per massage, the other pays $25 per massage 28 people reported being paid by the hour, with hourly pay ranging from $7.40-85.00 an hour. The average was 23.41 per hour. Of those 28 who are paid hourly: 3 report that they make $10 an hour or less 5 report that they make $11-15 an hour 8 report that they make $16-20 an hour 6 report that they make $21-25 an hour 3 report that they make $26-30 an hour Then the data jumped to $50, with 3 people reporting that they make $50 or more per hour 30 people said they receive tips 23 people said they do not receive tips 21 of the 53 people work more than one job to make ends meet $$-wise, it appears that the MDs office and the hospital are the best places to work, with higher pay and more benefits.
