Anywhere from $1500/mo to $4000/mo gross pay. It all depends the location (city, hospital or clinic vs spa and how many hrs and days/wk you're willing to work).
You should research this career in this site

You might want to check into physical therapy for a more recognized and better paying career.

NO MUCH I am one and have been for 30 years. If you work for a spa or health club etc... they may charge 60 to 80 bucks an hour and you might get 30.00 of it. it's impossible to do 8 one hour massages per day so if you do 3 massages you make 90.00 bucks. but somedays you might do 3 and somedays not one person will have a massage wich will leave you with O, ziltch.
I have worked at home for tha past 10 years and charge only 35.00 per hour, but maybe 5 or 6 a week you can't live on that, I Ido it part time.

How ever much you want to charge within reason as well as how well you market yourself. Are you planning on running your own business or do you want to work at a spa or something?
Call around and ask other therapists how much they charge and how many clients they see on average per week. That should give you enough information to do the math and have a more accurate estimation.
Good Luck! And if you are in Ohio, look me up, I could use a good massage

It depends on your talent & personality. You can make $60.00 to $100.00 per massage (depend on time involved). Working for a spa as an employee is safer and you can make $45,000 a year (salary & tips)

You can increase your take home pay by adding happy ending to your service list.
