Travel Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Salary in Iowa
Q4 2026 Edition — 3 live Iowa PTA contracts, pay data as of 2026-10-05.
The 3 travel PTA contracts ProTherapy placed in Iowa ran from $1,540 to $1,570 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 PTA median is $1,540/week across 233 live contracts. Every figure here is computed from ProTherapy Staffing's live contract feed — never estimated. Run a package through the Pay Calculator to see take-home.

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 the RANGE of 3 Iowa PTA 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.
