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
2026-10-05. 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 an Illinois OT median because the cut has at least 5 live contracts. Any discipline/state or discipline/setting cut with fewer is suppressed rather than published — we would rather show nothing than a number a single contract could swing.
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.
