That amounts to about $35k per year in salary, not including taxes. The average physical therapy assistant salary for someone who's stayed at the same job for a few years goes as high as $24 per hour if the physical therapy assistants in question remain for up to four years, and $26, if they stay for nine. Over a year, those hourly wages work out to about $50k and $55k, respectively.
