The American Institute of Architects send out a massive employment survey every few years and they take the data returned to them by the respondents and builds a “salary calculator” which is readily available and free for all to use.

An additional consideration is that the items that go into defining your worth are portable – meaning these are things that will go with you regardless of where you work. While these are all important questions and they certainly have a role to play, they are much harder for your employer to quantify and assign a numerical value. When you are determining your worth, you would consider those same questions, but you would also consider things like, are you a good person, do you fit into the culture of the office well, how involved do you get in the community, are you a good representative of the firm, do you show up for work, etc. These questions, at the very least, would include How much experience do you have, are you licensed, how much can I charge for your time, how effective are you, how much one hour spent working is constructive versus how much is spent learning the task, etc. When I am determining your value, I go through a list of questions to help me come to this number. I want to make more money … what’s that based on? How do you determine your worth, and how do you determine your value? From where I now sit, and for the sake of this conversation, let’s pretend I am your employer – I can determine your value, but I can’t determine your worth … that’s up to you. So I sent in my resume, had an interview, and 2 weeks later (after my night-time creeping around) I was now an employee at “cool building firm.” I did do a little research on what they did and it seemed slightly interesting … but when they offered me a raise of 36% over my old salary I said yes on the spot. Despite my obvious talents, the only requirement needed to find a job was “breathing”. The economy was going great in 1997 and finding a job was not particularly difficult. This was at a time early in my career (I was working at my second architectural job) and I was bored at my current job so I thought I would quit my job and come work for this apparently awesome architectural firm (I will refer to them as “cool building firm”).

I feel absolutely confident when I say that no matter how much money you currently make … you would like to make more.

Subscribe: Google Podcasts | Spotify | Android | iHeartRadio | Stitcher | TuneInĮveryone wants to make more money – this is a universally true statement and is not unique to architects. So let’s get into it and start a conversation on ‘An Architect’s Salary.’ I have now moved to the proverbial “other side of the table” and it has shaped how I view the process of determining how much money people should be paid. … but that’s me and things have changed since I was an employee. I also strongly believe that each person needs to determine for themselves where the balance exists between work and personal fulfillment. Of course they want to make more money – who doesn’t? The question – for me – is what are you willing to do to get more money because people generally don’t like to give that stuff away. I have long been on record that I can’t stand when architects complain that they don’t make more money. This is actually the fourth post I’ve prepared on the subject, but I haven’t talked about it since January 2013 so maybe it was overdue. It was only a matter of time before I once again tackled the topic of an architect’s salary.
