it depends on how many massages you do per week. if you are trying to make it a full time job, think about a goal for yourself, like 5 massages a day, three days a week. that's 15 a week times 60 an hour (or whatever you charge), if you work 50 weeks a year, that's 45,000.

The sky is the limit. If you can get a contract with a professional team of some sort or a Hollywood mogul. Seriously, there are a lot of factors that come into play. A lot depends on whether you plan to work for someone else or if you plan to set up your own service; initially, it will be difficult to make ends meet, but after your renown has spread and you have developed a clientelle, you could make some decent money if you watch your p's and q's and don't waste money on extravagances that have no return on investment. Another factor will be your personality and appearance. If you're likeable and attractive, you will have a much greater earning potential. One of the most important factors will be your technique and knowledge. You should know quite a bit about a person's body - bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc.. You should also know enough to be able to discuss issues with various types of therapists and doctors, including chiropractors and wholistic health specialists. Finally, the area you live in will make a lot of difference. If you live in an expensive city like San Francisco or Seattle, you can expect to make more money, but you should expect to spend more for your practice and living expenses as well.

It depends on several things: the location you are in. Are you working for a spa or a physical therapist? Spa is cash money - and the more upscale, the more money. If you're in a tourist locale (i.e. Vegas, Miami, Orlando, etc) there's more money. Most health insurances cover massage therapy if it's done at physical therapy office, so that's another thing to consider. Where the hours would be regular and fairly steady, you'd probably have to wait for the insurance plan to pay - usually 2-4 weeks, sometimes longer.

depends on how many massages are given each year. if you give four every day at 60 dollars five days per week that is pretty good money but you pay all the taxes and fica.
