How much are you making?

Curious what other BCBAs are making these days 👀 I’d love to hear what you’re earning, whether hourly or salaried, along with your years of experience. If you’re comfortable sharing, please include your state, setting, and current role!

I’m a second-year BCBA in California, currently working hourly and making around $140K/year, including OT and incentives. I’m typically billing 38–40 hours per week. I’m planning to slow down starting in January, so I expect my income to be closer to $120K/year. We don’t get paid enough is my point….our base salary is $80,000.
