How Much Do Cash Based PTs Really Make Per Hour?

from DPT to CEO: The Podcast · host Morgan Meese

Are you thinking about going cash-based but wondering if it’s actually more profitable than your $40/hour clinic job? During this episode, we’re breaking down how much cash-based physical therapists really make per hour after overhead, admin time, and everything else that eats into your income.Spoiler: just because you charge $150–$200 per session doesn’t mean you’re taking home that much. We’ll walk you through real income scenarios, show you how to calculate your profit per hour (not just revenue), and explain why so many PTs end up with more freedom, control, and earning potential by switching to the cash PT business model. If you’re tired of trading time for dollars in a packed clinic schedule and want to know what’s truly possible on your own—this one’s for you.Oh, and check out our pricing calculator linked here.--Follow me on Instagram: @drmorganmeese | Join my Facebook Group: DPT to CEO | Ready to start your own cash based practice?
