What is the Hourly salary of a licensed massage therapist?

I live in Cartersville, Ga and i heard that lmt get 60 dollars an hour for a client. I did math and working 30 hours a week (avg 6 people a day for 5 days) you would make around 86,000 dollars a year or for 25 hours a week 72,000 dollars. Is this true?What is the Hourly salary of a licensed massage therapist?
Question is.....can you give 6 or even 5 massages a day?





Can you round up enough appointments to even get 20 massages a week?





What's your overhead==rent, insurance, adverstising, supplies, lien service, license fees, utilities===average out per massage?





Yes $60 per hour of massage income, figure $1000-$1300 a month in overhead(minimum) plus some capital costs such as a good table $600-$3400.





Don't forget: when working for yourself you pay double the social security of an employed person, plus send in you restimated income taxes each quarter. You also get to pay your own health insurance and should you take a vacation (or get sick), there's no income coming in, but you're still paying out your overhead.





Yes, it's possible to pull in $72k income for the year, but what you put into your own pocket is much less.
