    How much does a RBT earn in New York?

    RBT roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $20/hr – $30/hr, typically $20/hr entry, $24/hr mid-career and $30/hr at senior or supervisory level. In New York, 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. Dense, credential-heavy market. Licensure processing time is the main obstacle to out-of-state hires, so we start it before offer, not after.

    What changes a RBT offer in New York

    • New York licenses behavior analysts (LBA) through the Office of the Professions; BCBA certification alone is not sufficient.
    • Setting: Center-based ABA clinics, In-home ABA, Schools 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: High volume, high turnover. The providers who win here pay for drive time, guarantee hours and promote from within; the ones who do not are permanently hiring.

    Why we do not publish a NY average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 New York 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.

    Pay is the last thing that fixes a stalled search

    RBT retention is a scheduling problem before it is a pay problem. Guaranteed hours, cancellation policy and travel radius decide whether a hire lasts a year.
