American Institute of Architects (AIA) Salary Calculator

This salary calculator is based on the same data as in AIA’s published report of the 2023 Compensation Survey. This calculator is intended to give a high-level view of the salaries of different architectural staff positions. It does not set definitive salaries and is not intended to be interpreted as such. The salaries found in this calculator are not adjusted for specific factors that may affect salary like exact location, firm size, firm type, and other factors. These salaries are broad averages and ranges only, and may vary substantially based on your location, years of experience, specific job duties, and/or other factors. These salaries are intended as a broad guide only. Salaries in many geographic areas will be significantly lower than the ranges noted here.

These are descriptive of positions at architecture firms for classification and salary reporting purposes and not intended to be recommended as specific titles for unlicensed staff working at architecture firms. Please check with your licensing board for title restrictions.
