Therapist Pay & Incentive Calculator

Fixed salary, per-session pay, or a base plus incentive — each one behaves differently as a therapist's caseload moves. This shows your true monthly cost, your cost per session, and where the therapist starts paying for themselves.

How this is worked out

Fixed: you pay the same whether they deliver 80 sessions or 160. Cheap at high caseloads, expensive at low ones. The risk sits with you.

Per-session: cost scales exactly with delivery. Safe for you, but income is unpredictable for the therapist, and retention suffers.

Hybrid: a base that covers their essentials plus a per-session incentive. Most Indian centres land here once they pass three or four therapists.

Break-even caseload = the sessions needed for this therapist's revenue to cover their own pay. It ignores rent and admin — use the break-even calculator for the whole centre.
