How much do a chiropractor make a year?

Answer 1

The exact income a chiropractor makes depends on what type of practice they have, how many patients they see, and the location of there practice. Below are a few different sources that provide a general idea of the expected income of a chiropractor.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US Department of Labor in 2010 (see related links for source of this info):

The mean annual income for an American chiropractor was $79,820

25% of American chiropractors earned less than $47,930

25% of American chiropractors earned more than $95,870

50% of American chiropractors earned less than $67,200

According to a 2008 peer-reviewed research study in Canada:

The average gross annual income of chiropractors in the study sample was $144,254.

According to a survey study done by Chiropractic Economics in 2008 for all North American Chiropractors (see related links for source of this info):

• North American Chiropractors collected $280,000 on average in 2007

• Net practice income was $107,500 on average in 2007 (Net practice income is the dollar amount remaining after all taxes and expenses have been paid).

• Total DC compensation was $100,000 in 2007.

For unincorporated DCs, total compensation is earnings after tax-deductible expenses but before income taxes. For DCs in a professional corporation, it is the sum of salary, bonuses, and retirement/profit-sharing contributions made on their behalf.

According to a 2004 peer-reviewed research study of primarily US chiropractors:

- 56% made less than $99,999 per year

- 24% earned between $100,000 and $149,999 per year

- 20% netted more than $150,000 per year

Answer 2

The average salary of a chiropractic physician in Canada was $75,000 in 2003, it has likely increased since then due to inflation etc. Of course this number is an average... and like any profession, some chiropractors that are good at what they do can earn significantly more than this, but there are also those who are lazy, not good at what they do, or choose to work only part time and earn significantly less.

Answer 3

A chiropractor can earn on average in one year anywhere between $65k to $145k. It is hard to put an exact on it because everyone charges differently according to the city or state they are at.

Answer 4

Chiropractors are for the most part independent businessmen (or possibly partners in a small corporation). As such, they don't really get "wages" per se, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about how much they make an hour.

Answer 5

Chiropractors can make 80,000 to 100,000 dollars a year. If they have their own practice they can make much more.

Answer 6

In the US, the average salary for a chiropractor is $102,000 annually. In Fort Worth, Texas, the average annual salary for a chiropractor is $93,000.
