Salaries
What project managers really earn, using official labour-market data — with figures by country and experience level, and the source named every time.
Salary Guides
- Agile Coach Salary in 2026 (And Why the Data Is Shaky)
US estimates run from about $133,000 to $188,000, with enterprise coaches reported above $220,000. But the samples behind these numbers are small — one major source averages just 88 salaries — so treat them as a rough band, not a benchmark.
- Business Analyst Salary in 2026 (And How the Ladder Really Compares)
US sources put the average between about $84,000 and $111,000. There's a semi-official figure too — but it describes a broader occupation than business analysis, and the popular idea of a neat salary ladder from coordinator to coach is shakier than it looks.
- Does the PMP Actually Increase Your Salary?
Probably a little — but not by the figure you've seen advertised. The famous "PMP holders earn 17–33% more" comes from PMI's own survey of self-reported salaries, and it compares certified professionals against a group that includes people far earlier in their careers.
- Product Owner Salary in 2026 (And Why Estimates Disagree)
US estimates range from about $108,000 to $142,000 — a 31% gap between sources measuring the same job. There's no official government figure, so this guide shows every source side by side and explains why they differ, plus pay in the UK, Canada and Australia.
- Program Manager Salary in 2026 (One Word Is Worth $60,000)
General program managers average roughly $96,000 to $123,000 in the US. Add "technical" to the title and the average jumps to about $162,000 — because they aren't really the same job, and the salary data quietly proves it.
- Project Coordinator Salary in 2026 (Don't Read the Average)
US sources put the average between about $55,000 and $75,000 — but if you're entering with no experience, the average is the wrong number to plan around. Expect the lower end, and know that the real pay jump comes from the move to project manager, not from raises.
- Project Manager Salary in 2026 (US, UK, Canada & Australia)
In the US, the official BLS median for project management specialists is $100,750 (May 2024). Pay varies widely by country — roughly £57k in the UK, C$79k in Canada, and A$140k in Australia.
- Scrum Master Salary in 2026 (US, UK, Canada & Australia)
There's no official government salary figure for Scrum Masters, so every number is self-reported. In the US they average roughly $123k–$127k (Indeed, Glassdoor); pay varies by country — about £54k in the UK, C$109k in Canada, and A$137k in Australia.
