$90k Median BCBA Salary

Every compensation conversation goes better with real numbers. Salary sites run on self-reported (overinflated) data. These figures come from offers BCBAs actually accepted through TYGES.

$90k is the median base salary BCBAs accepted across TYGES placements in the past 18 months. This is not what employers wish you'd take. This is what your peers actually earned.

Estimate your salary based on experience using our BCBA Salary Calculator and see the placement breakdown.

Debunking the Misconception About Working With a Recruiter

In almost every initial conversation I have with a BCBA, there's a common concern that comes up and I'm here to set the record straight. 

Working with an executive recruiter costs candidates nothing. No fee, no percentage, no deduction from your offer. The hiring organization pays, always. Your negotiated salary is what lands in your account. 

What we do for BCBAs and Clinic Directors is straightforward. We know what clinics in your market actually pay, what the billable expectation really is once you are in the seat, and which organizations hold onto their clinical staff. We share that before you interview, not after you accept. 

If you are curious about your market, contact TYGES. I will send you what I have, and there is no expectation of anything beyond that.
