How much do massage therapist make working in major spas and resorts?
That depends on your certification. An RMT (Registered Massage Therapist with 2 1/2 years of school) makes $75+/ hr, that is the general wage where ever you work. If you have your spa practitioner Diploma (1 year of school) an entry level job will pay $15 - $20/ hour, but that will increase depending on experience and where you work, most experienced Spa practitioners can make up to $50/ hour at a good spa/ resort.These wages are for Canada, I am not sure what it would be for somewhere else.
How much does a massage therapist get for one massage?
In terms of money: anywhere from nothing to hundreds, or even up to thousands of dollars. Apart from the money, they get the priceless satisfaction that only comes from helping another human being, and in some cases animals. Such an easy question but the amount charged is really based upon a multitude of factors. Such as: 1- Is the massage private (in your home) or at a spa? 2- What kind or type of massage? 3- The length of time worked on the client? 4- The current market and economy? 5- What part of the world or area does the massage take place? Start with #1. Is the massage private (in your home) or at a spa? Lengthy answer... Massage therapists working privately have a tendency to charge more than if you were to go to them. This would be due to travel time, distance traveled and set-up/break-down time of the table, etc. If you have the option of going to the therapist, then you might save some money since you are doing the traveling. The downside to that is that once you are done with the massage you need to get into a car (most likely) vs. getting off of the table, paying the therapist and already being in the comfort of your home. I charge between $75-115/hour depending upon where the massage takes place. If it is at a spa the spa will charge you and pay the therapist later. Based upon my experience, most therapists working for spas or Chiropractors get very little of what is actually charged. For example, a spa might charge $110 for a 50 minute massage but the therapist will only get a small percentage of the fee. Many spas in the South Beach are of Miami, FL will only provide 25% of the amount paid and if the therapists are lucky they will get all of the tip/gratuity added to their pay. Some spas will add a 10-20% gratuity to the client and only pay part of that to the massage therapist. A spa at a famous gym called Equinox, has an interesting pay schedule (unless it has changed from 2008). They pay the better of either their hourly wage for a 2 week period or they pay them their commission during that same time period. They DO NOT get both hourly wages plus commission, only one or the other. So what happens is a therapist might be scheduled for 80 hours in a 2 week period at $7-8/hour. Let's say it is $8/hr and make Equinox look good. That would mean they can make $320 in a 40 hour pay period or better. But in order to make better than $640 they need to do a whole lot of massages. Equinox therapists will earn approx. $30 for a massage and gratuity (if the client pays it). So that means if a massage therapist gets in 21 massages ($630) in a 2 week time period, their pay is going to be the better of massages vs. hourly ($640). So basically, the therapist worked for 80 hours making only $8/hr and Equinox charged around $2310 for the 21 massages. #2- What kind or type of massage? Therapists MIGHT charge more for different modalities used to treat a client. For example, if only Swedish massage is utilized vs. Deep Tissue or Hot Stone Therapy, you may be charged less for only Swedish massage. This is due to the complexity and amount of energy that is used in the various types of massage. #3- The length of time worked on the client? Some places charge for a 50 minute hour or a 60 minute massage. Or 80 minutes vs. 90 minutes. This all depends upon the spa or therapist and it varies upon location. The idea is that time is money. A 50 minute massage is designed with the idea that it requires you 2 minutes to disrobe and get comfortable on the table and 8 minutes for you to get off the table and get dressed which leaves the massage therapist a few minutes to change the sheets for the next client. #4- The current market and economy? How much massage competition is there in the area? The economy these days can dictate a lot. In hard times you will find better deals than if money is flowing like it did in the early 2000s. In Florida, there are over 9000 Licensed Massage Therapists. So, competition is quite strong in this state. #5- What part of the world or area does the massage take place? In Thailand you can get an hour massage for under $20. Here in the USA $20 might get you a 20 minute chair massage. If you live in a big city like New York City you will probably pay more than if you live in North Dakota. Hopefully this will answer your question.

How much do you get paid massage theripist?
Entry level massage jobs start at $15 an hour. You don't get paid that when you don't have a client usually but will get paid minimum wage sometimes. Most massage therapists only work 20-25 hours because of the physical demands of the work. You can get experience at entry-level jobs and work your way up to finding a job that pays more like $40-$55 an hour.Most massage therapists actually start their own business because you can make more that way so you have to have business and marketing skills as well as outstanding client communication skills.IncomeAverage massage-related income for massage therapists in 2005 was $18,950, with a median income of $14,500 (2005 ABMP Member Survey). An American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) fact sheet erroneously asserts that massage therapists earn an annual income "comparable to other healthcare support workers," on the basis of misleading numbers supplied by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), exacerbated by an AMTA further assumption.The bureau reports average annual income for massage therapists to be $29,250, including gratuities (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wages, November 2003).The bureau derived this number by gathering data showing a mean hourly wage of $16.83 for massage therapists, then "multiplying the hourly mean wage rate by a 'year-round, full-time' hours figure of 2,080 hours."AMTA obviously failed to consider the BLS footnote. Their purported "2005 Massage Industry Fact Sheet" states, "The average annual income for a massage therapist (including tips) who provides 15 hours of massage per week is $29,250" (emphasis added). The BLS mean annual wage by contrast is based on 40 hours per week. It can reasonably be assumed that BLS data includes all hours devoted to one's massage practice, not just client contact hours. A rough estimate is perhaps half an hour of support time (for bookkeeping, marketing the practice, continuing education, taking client histories, laundry, linen changes and other room preparation before and after a session) for each hour of hands-on work. Those assumptions, coupled with a further assumption that massage therapists take three weeks vacation each year, would produce a mean annual wage of $18,555 from massage - close to ABMP's $18,950 survey data.It is misleading for the bureau to report these numbers at face value (and for others to imply that the few individuals counted are representative of massage practitioners as a whole), as the Bureau of Labor Statistics' footnote mentions "self-employed" workers are not included. Two-thirds of U.S. massage therapy practitioners are self-employed. The BLS sample of 29,550 massage therapists (representing just 16 percent of all massage therapists practicing at the time the survey was conducted), may be skewed toward employees of larger establishments (likely major spas, hospitals and hotels), which are more likely to file U.S. Department of Labor reports than small massage practice proprietors are.Average massage therapist income is not in fact comparable to reported income of other healthcare support workers covered by the labor department survey. The lesser massage income largely reflects a choice by massage practitioners to devote fewer hours to the profession. Healthcare support workers in other fields may well more often devote 40 hours a week to such work.Total earnings by massage therapists, including their earnings from other employment, were $32,506 (2005 ABMP Member Survey).First-year practice average income was $9,589, reflecting the challenges of establishing a professional service practice (2005 ABMP Member Survey). It really depends on where you live, but generally the average price is $60 for an hour. If you are interested in getting a better price, and willing to take a chance that it might not be quite as good, you could try going to a massage school student clinic. They will charge around $30-$35 for an hour massage. If you are lucky, you may even get a massage that's better than one from a professional. It's worth a try.To IMPROVE this answer- I am currently a massage therapist in Dallas Texas. I work for myself. I am professional and have my own studio and I specialize in Deep Tissue work which is something I naturally was good at. I am in my 6th year of massage therapy - 3 of which I have worked for someone else and three in which I have worked for myself. Working for others I made about 30,000 a year working full time without tips. Now I work for myself and I range from making 6,000 a month to 14 grand a month. Out of that I would say I spend an average of 1200 a month on supplies, studio rent, gas for outbound appts, ect. So working for yourself and hammering out your craft so you are the best and you can prove it pays off BIG. The downside is I work LONG hours, I have to put my clients before my personal life, and I have to market. I work alone because finding good therapist that show up is hard to find or I could double my income with 3 people working under me.I do suggest working at least a year for someone else while you get the hang of the business. Nothing like learning your mistakes on someone else's dime!In summary; if you are a type A motivated individual you can make great money! Just work at it and figure out what works for you. Good luck :)Addon: Massage therapists in Canada make $60-80 for an hour-long massage.For a more recent update on the salary.According to a research done in 2013. A average massage therapist makes around $34,000 to over $70,000 annually
