    How much does a BCBA earn in Massachusetts?

    BCBA roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $75k – $115k, typically $75k entry, $92k mid-career and $115k at senior or supervisory level. In Massachusetts, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. Academic-heavy market with strong clinical standards and correspondingly high expectations on supervision quality.

    What changes a BCBA offer in Massachusetts

    • Massachusetts licenses applied behavior analysts through the Board of Allied Mental Health.
    • Setting: Center-based ABA clinics, In-home ABA, School districts and contracted school services price differently for the same credential.
    • Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
    • Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
    • Scarcity: 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.

    Why we do not publish a MA average

    We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Massachusetts average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
