About GamedevSalary.com

Salary information in the games industry is fragmented, paywalled, or buried in PDF reports. GamedevSalary.com exists to make it explorable: one place where a game developer can see what their role actually pays — by experience, region, and seniority — with every number labeled by where it came from.

The site is independent, free to use, and carries no ads. It is built and run by a single developer, funded out of pocket. The dataset combines live anonymous submissions from visitors, community data, and cited aggregate figures from public industry reports — see the methodology for exactly how the numbers are computed. Community data — public community salary datasets, individual reports shared with us, and anonymous submissions on this site (2018–2026).

Contribute

The most valuable thing you can do is submit your salary — it is anonymous by default (email optional) and directly improves the data for the next person in your role. Roles marked "model estimate" are the ones that need reports most.

Support the site

You can support it with a small donation via Ko-fi or Buy Me a Coffee — it covers hosting. Studios and tools can also sponsor the project.
