What does a physical therapist actually cost your clinic?
Move two sliders and see what's left after you pay a PT. Built for physical therapy clinic owners.
Revenue this PT generates
$20,250
188 visits/mo
Total cost of this PT
$7,200
35.6% of revenue
Profit left for the clinic
$6,773
33.4% margin
That profit has heavy lifting to do.
The $6,773 left over isn't take-home pay. It pays the owner, covers your tax bill, pays down debt, and funds the next hire or location.
Assumptions: 80 hrs of PTO means about 50 weeks worked a year (4.17 per month), so more PTO means fewer visits and less revenue. Estimates include employer payroll tax and paid time off for employees, plus typical clinic admin, facilities and operating allocations. They do not include benefits like 401(k) matching or health insurance — so your actual profit is likely lower.

What this quick estimate assumes
To keep this fast, we use owner-focused industry averages instead of asking for every line item:
- • 8% administrative allocation — intake, billing, benefits verification, scheduling and front desk (typical range 5–10%), plus the facilities and operating percentages you set
- • 80 hours of paid time off per year, valued at this PT's effective hourly rate
- • No health insurance, 401(k), paid admin time, leadership, bonuses, or mentorship costs
Your real numbers are never this tidy.
Benefits and PTO, paid admin time, bonus structures, student loan and CEU support, flat rate and percentage-of-collections pay, tiered pay by visit volume — those are the levers we model with PT clinic owners as their CFO team.
