How much does a BCBA earn in the US?

Board Certified Behavior Analyst roles we recruit are advertised at roughly $75k – $115k: $75k at entry, $92k mid-career and $115k at senior or supervisory level. Setting, caseload size and payer mix move the figure more than years of experience do. Ranges reflect what we typically see advertised on roles we recruit for in the US. They are a market guide, not a survey, and vary by setting, caseload and experience.

Do I need a state license as well as BCBA certification?

In most states, yes. The majority now license behavior analysts separately (commonly LBA or LABA), and payers increasingly require it. Certification is national; licensure is state by state, so plan for both when you move.

What caseload should a BCBA expect?

It varies by setting and payer mix. Center-based roles are usually quoted as a client count, in-home roles as billable hours per week. Ask for both numbers plus the supervision ratio before you accept; it tells you more about the job than the salary does.

Can BCBA work be remote?

Partly. Telehealth supervision, parent training and program writing are routinely remote, while assessments and overlaps usually are not. Fully remote BCBA roles exist but are a small share of the market.

What do BCBA jobs pay, and where are they?

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) roles in the US are advertised at roughly $75k – $115k, with entry roles near $75k and senior or supervisory roles near $115k. The single most requested role we recruit. Demand is heaviest in center-based and hybrid ABA across Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and the Carolinas, and strongest of all for BCBAs willing to carry a supervisory caseload. Some BCBA work is remote — telehealth, supervision and documentation — but assessment-heavy roles usually are not.
