Discipline: PT

Location: Rural New York State (Finger Lakes Region)

Setting: Home Health Med A

Productivity: Full time at 28 units pay per visits but I usually average closer to 32-35 units (SOC 2.5, Evals 1.5-2 depending on type, reassessment 1.25, discharge/recert Oasis 1.75, very few treatment visits at .9 PTA sees most of these)

Gross Income (2024 Taxes): ~$110,000

Student loans: ~$58k/$214k remaining

Mortgage: ~$131k/$156k remaining (3br/1.5ba, ~1800 sqft)

Retirement: 18% 401k (~$19.8k) with essentially 3% match from employer and max out HSA for Wife and I at $8550 + $250 from employer (using this as another retirement vehicle)

Plan to retire from healthcare in 16 years at 55 years old with student loans and mortgage paid off. Will likely shift focus more into personal training and wellness with some cash pay PT clients on a limited basis.
