How we calculate this
These figures place a Speech and Language Therapist's pay against percentile bands (p25 to p90) in Canada. Where national occupation data is thin, we model from regional wage references and label it as such; we never present an estimate as official. Figures are gross annual, rounded.
Where this figure comes from
- Occupation as published
- Audiologists and speech-language pathologists (NOC 31112)
- Reference period
- 2023-2024
- The source publishes a median for this occupation; the remaining percentiles are modelled from it.
- The source does not publish Top 10% (p90) for this occupation, so those figures are estimated.
