  • Frontend developer hourly rates - Summary

  • Frontend developer hourly rates are documented to be roughly $41/hr on average. According to Glassdoor, this value might be anywhere between $26-63/hr in the United States of America. In the country, junior developers make roughly $33 per hour while senior frontend developers earn around $48 per hour.

    While the aforementioned estimates were based on Glassdoor yearly data averaged to an hour, we also examined Talent.com and ZipReruiter for hourly pay figures. Talent.com said that the hourly wage for a Frontend developer is around $52/hr, which is much more than Glassdoor's estimate.

    According to ZipRecruiter, the average hourly wage for Frontend developers is roughly $547hr, which is in between the figures provided by the other two. They have given a salary range of $17-75/hr.

  • Factors that affect the Frontend developer hourly rate

  • Frontend developer hourly rates vary depending on numerous aspects, including experience level, company kind and size, talents, educational background, and location.

    Experience level

    The amount a Frontend developer may make per hour increases with expertise. Certainly, a Frontend developer with 5 years of experience would understand the complexities of the technology better than a novice developer and will thus be paid more.

    Size and kind of business

    It has been noted that product-based firms pay more to developers than service-based organizations. This is because in the former instance, the developer would have to take on greater ownership. Also, larger corporations often pay more, but this is not always the case.

    Skills

    A developer might anticipate a higher hourly pay if they are well-versed in numerous relevant abilities that they can apply in the development process. A Frontend developer who also knows ExpressJS or TypeScript, for example, may work as a full-stack developer and so contribute more.

    Educational background

    While this isn't always true because abilities are valued more during the first few years in tech, getting a degree from a reputable college can help a developer get a better starting salary.

    Location

    We have seen that when the firm and developer are located in higher cost locations, the hourly fee is greater than in other regions. More on this in the next section.

    Obtaining the best price for hiring Frontend developers may pose difficulties, but with the right amount of research, you can overcome this obstacle.

In terms of Frontend developer hourly rates, location appears to be a major deciding factor. We discovered that India and Egypt had prices as low as $4/hr, whilst Germany and Canada have rates close to $30/hr. But, when it comes to freelancing and remote jobs, there is a more uniform distribution of hourly wages throughout the world. Also, while the trend indicates lower rates in specific places, this should not be interpreted as an indication of the developer's degree of ability.
