Front End Salary FAQs

What is the average Front End Salary in 2024?

 

The average Front End worker's salary in 2024 for mid-level workers is $127,929 and for senior-level workers is $142,651. These front end salary figures can vary wildly depending on if a role is fully remote or from city to city. For example, those front end workers living in areas like San Fransico or Seattle can see as much as a 30% higher salary versus the national average, while cities like Charlotte and Dallas can be below the US average salary.

 

How much did Front End Salaries increase in 2023?

 

Front End salaries increased on average by 6% year-over-year, which is above the IT industry average of 2% in 2024. While above the national average, this year's salary increase doesn't reach the heights of the past few years. Reasons for this vary, but a major component is businesses being more cautious in spending and investments compared to 2021 and 2022. While there is still a tech talent shortage for qualified front end workers along with the rest of IT, companies are no longer offering double-digit salary bumps to lure workers away or keep employees happy.
