Salary vs. Years of UX Experience

Salary v. Age (Decade of Life – 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s) 

Salary Notes:

• n=165
• We asked for salary and bonus, and sum is included in visuals below. 
• The second graph shows age range (20s, 30s, etc., since we did not ask actual age). It is possible that grouping by decade obscures a stronger correlation between age and salary.

Contracting/Consulting Rates

Minimum Rates

Maximum Rates

Hourly Rate Notes:

• n=48 (or just shy of 20% of our sample) 
• For consultants who work mostly on a fixed fee basis, hourly rates may be estimates. 
• We asked for a range of minimum-maximum rates. Those who entered min rate only were assumed to have a single rate (i.e. equal min and max)
• In the visuals above, the top number is the hourly rate, bottom number the number of respondents reporting that rate, i.e. 5 reported $100 as their minimum hourly rate.
