How these figures are calculated
- Source: salaries that employers published in live Content Writer listings on Jobsiz. No estimates or surveys.
- Each listing counts once, at the midpoint of its advertised range (or its single figure).
- Converted to a yearly amount: hourly × 2,080 hours, daily × 260 days, weekly × 52, monthly × 12.
- Only USD listings are combined; other currencies are left out rather than converted.
- Excluded: duplicate listings, removed and demo listings, and impossible values (under 1,000 or over 2,000,000 a year).
- Values far outside the typical range (beyond 1.5× the interquartile range) are flagged for review and left out.
- Seniority is read from the job title (e.g. “Senior”, “Staff”, “Junior”), since most employers don’t state a level.
- Recalculated as listings are added and expire; last calculated 13 October 2026.
