Architect Income
Median annual earnings of wage-and-salary
architects were $64,150 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between
$49,780 and $83,450. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $39,420, and the
highest 10 percent earned more than $104,970. Those just starting their
internships can expect to earn considerably less.
Earnings of partners in established architectural
firms may fluctuate because of changing business conditions. Some architects may
have difficulty establishing their own practices and may go through a period
when their expenses are greater than their income, requiring substantial
financial resources.
Many firms pay tuition and fees toward continuing
education requirements for their employees.
