💰 Private Practice vs. School Salary: What Pays More?

Let’s compare the traditional school SLP salary structure with the private practice pay model.

School SLP

Caseload: 60+ students

Income: Fixed salary ($55-75k)

Hourly Pay (after taxes & admin): ~$40 per hour

Work Hours: 40+ hours/week

Private Practice SLP

Caseload: 5-10 private clients

Income: You set your rates!

Per Session Pay: $100-$150+

Work Hours: You decide!

💡 Most school SLPs make ~$40 per student per year.

 

Meanwhile, private SLPs can make $100-$150 PER SESSION.

 

That’s more money with fewer clients and WAY less stress.

💰 Interactive Private Practice Income Calculator

💡 Use this calculator to see how much you could earn as a private SLP!

Fill in your info & see your potential income:

On a piece of paper or in a notes app, jot down the following:

  • Your current weekly school salary
  • Number of therapy sessions per week

Take your weekly school salary and divide it by the number of therapy sessions you have per week, and that's your rate per session.

 

Example:

$50,000/year salary / 52 weeks = $961.53/week

$961.53 / 40 sessions = $24.04/session

Now, use the Private Client Income Estimator to see what your income would be if you were in private practice and paid per session:

📌 Most SLPs are shocked when they realize they only need 7-10 private clients per week to replace their school salary!

(5 Simple Steps)

 

Here’s how school SLPs are making the jump to private practice the SMART way—without quitting their jobs right away!

1️⃣ Set Your Financial Goal

  • Use the Income Calculator above to determine how many private clients you need.
  • Example: If you charge $125 per session, you only need 10 clients/week to replace a $65K salary.

2️⃣ Find Your First Private Client

  • Start with word-of-mouth, referrals, and Facebook groups.
  • Offer after-school sessions or weekend slots to test demand.
  • 75% of SLPs in the Start Program get their first client in under 30 days!

3️⃣ Keep Your Full-Time Job While You Build

  • See 1-2 private clients per week on evenings/weekends.
  • Grow slowly & scale at your own pace—zero financial risk!

4️⃣ Set Up the Basics (Without Spending Thousands!)

  • You don’t need an office, fancy website, or branding.
  • Just liability insurance, basic documentation, and a plan!

5️⃣ Grow at Your Own Pace & Decide When to Transition

  • Once you’re earning steady income, you can reduce school hours or transition full-time.
  • Some SLPs replace their income in 6-12 months while keeping full control!

 “...It’s been a lot of work (and occasionally the feeling that I threw myself off a cliff). But with the support of family and friends, I have started to build a team, I am pretty much full and just had my best $$$$$ month.

When you know you’ve got to take the next step don’t hesitate…you’ve got this.”

Jill

“Celebrating an increase in revenue of $24k this year thanks to this group – brought in on the side with ‘private clients’ and raising my rates with one of my contracted clients [I supervise their OTs]. FEELS AMAZING.

I have multiple streams now and it allows me freedom in my schedule and I get to pick up my kid from school most days. There is sanity and variety to my work life.”

YOU could be next! Let’s make it happen.
