Travel Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) Salary in Pennsylvania

Q3 2026 Edition — 3 live Pennsylvania COTA contracts, pay data as of 2026-09-09.

The 3 travel COTA contracts ProTherapy placed in Pennsylvania ran from $1,260 to $1,460 per week, gross. That is what these contracts were, stated in full rather than averaged: a median needs at least 5 contracts behind it and this cut has 3, so none is published here. For scale, the national travel COTA median is $1,460/week across 116 live contracts. Every figure here is computed from ProTherapy Staffing's live contract feed — never estimated.

Methodology

Source
ProTherapy Staffing's live contract feed — the same pinned snapshot that powers our job board and the Pay Index. No third-party or survey data is mixed in, and every figure on this page is recomputed from that snapshot by an automated check before it ships — see how we verify.
Snapshot date
2026-09-09. A point-in-time snapshot of open contracts, not a rolling average.
Weekly gross
The full pre-tax weekly value of the contract as posted — the blended package combining the taxable hourly rate and non-taxable stipends where they apply (see pay packages explained). Take-home depends on your tax home and housing costs.
Suppression
This page publishes the RANGE of 3 Pennsylvania COTA contracts and no median. Between 3 and 4 contracts we state what those contracts ran, because that is a fact about them; a median from the same 3 would be a number a single contract could swing. Below 3 contracts even the range goes, and the page shows its count alone.
Scope
This reflects ProTherapy Staffing's own contract inventory and may not represent the entire market. We publish it computed rather than estimated, because that transparency is what makes it worth citing.
