PPC Salary Survey 2026 Final Report – 11th Year Edition
Posted by on March 17, 2026 at 1:14 pmHowdy Y'All
Our 11th year in the books. This year we got 445, which is about a 40% drop in responses due to me switching email platforms. Sadly a lot of emails seem to have hit people's spam folder. A bit of bad luck.
Countries/regions are listed in alphabetical as we got 110+ slides. For reporting, the bar is 20 for the USA and 10 for the rest of world to show a country, region, province/state or a city. The Netherlands is still in the top 3 countries this year. They knocked out Canada for the top 3rd spot for number of responses. USA and UK are top 1 and 2 and Canada was number 4. Congrats to each country.
Some Notes
- It feels like salaries are not growing and getting compressed if you work a salaried job.
- Does not feel like we are bringing in enough junior level people which could spell trouble for our industry down the line
- Some people have 1-3 years experience in paid but having been working for 8-10 years, thus they can skew salaries higher.
- Some people include their bonus in their salaries I imagine. This can make their salary higher than someone who might not have. Hence why we try to use the median salary across all reports

Thanks you for helping make this happen. I spend a couple weeks on this project each year and it's truly interesting to see the data doing this labour of love project.
If you see a mistake or you think something is off, let me know in the comments and I'll look into it when I get a chance this week. This folder has past salary survey results.

Always a pleasure to see I’m underpaid.
Jokes aside, appreciate this report every year!
