How much does a cash based PT actually make compared to working in a clinic? If worrying about money is what's keeping you from starting your own practice, this video walks through the real numbers so you can plan with confidence. The median physical therapist salary is about $102,000 before taxes, or roughly $6,700 a month after taxes. Using that as our goal, I break down how much revenue a cash based physical therapy practice needs to replace a clinic paycheck, and how to get there with a realistic caseload. We cover how to calculate the revenue you need after expenses, savings, and taxes, how to set your pricing floor based on real data instead of competitors or feelings, why 15 visits a week doesn't mean a 15-hour workweek, an example pricing ladder with evaluations, packages, and a monthly membership, what 10 new evaluations a month can turn into, why recurring revenue makes your practice more stable and less stressful, how expenses compare when renting space versus working out of a garage gym, and the extra costs to plan for, like state taxes, health insurance, and retirement.
