Graphic Design salary
16 market ranges · employer-stated pay · updated Sep 24, 2026
These figures come from 91 graphic design postings where the employer stated pay, covering 5 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at mid-level, where 26 postings put the middle half between $72,663 and $103,750, with a median of $81,250.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $92,000, mid-level around $85,000 and senior around $101,000. Moving from entry-level to senior is worth roughly 10% more.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 4 of the 8 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
