The overall pay range between states tends to range between $92,000 per year or so in Oregon to more than $115,000 in Washington D.C., but there are a range of factors that can influence what a back-end developer earns in any specific state or city.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Pollak, Chief Economist at ZipRecruiter, says that it\u2019s important to note that salaries can be a tad misleading, too, as they don\u2019t incorporate total compensation for developers, who are often pulling in sizable bonuses and stock options on top of that salary.<\/p>\n<p>Pollak also says that back-end developers may end up earning more than their front-end counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause back-end developers are dealing with ever more data, and responsibility for building the data server database logic, the job has become incredibly important and crucial,\u201d Pollak says. \u201cGetting things to run quickly on the back end, with vast amounts of data, is a very specialized and difficult skill\u2014back-end developers need to be really proficient,\u201d she says. That, in a nutshell, is why back-end developers can command relatively high salaries.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cost of living<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While the average back-end developer may earn a relatively high salary, they must also keep the cost of living where they live and work in mind. A developer earning a high salary in an expensive city may see more of those earnings whittled away by high rent and childcare costs (for example) than a developer earning a bit less in a cheaper area. Again, this is something to merely keep in mind for prospective developers looking at high-paying career tracks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-datawrapper wp-block-embed-datawrapper\">\n<p><iframe class=\"\" aria-label=\"Map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-BFUNn\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"623\" loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/BFUNn\/3\/\" style=\"border:none\" title=\"Comparing the relative cost of living in each state\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back-end developer salary by state<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Below, you\u2019ll see the states where back-end developers earn the most on average. The salary numbers were provided by ZipRecruiter, and were calculated between the beginning of 2024 through early May 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further, the cost of living (COL) index for each state is

While some developers have \u201cfull-stack\u201d skill sets\u2014meaning they work both front and back-end\u2014some developers opt to specialize in the front or back-end specifically. Back-end developers tend to work \u201cunder the hood,\u201d with a lot of data and databases.<\/p>\n<p>Their proficiency in back-end systems and processes isn\u2019t easily obtained, either, which is what makes a back-end developer\u2019s abilities prized in the labor market, allowing the average back-end dev to earn a six-figure salary. Prospective back-end developers should keep in mind that their salaries likely will depend, to some degree, on where they live and work, and the specific skills and programming languages they possess.<\/p>\n<p>While working on the back-end of websites and applications may also not be quite as sexy as designing them for the front-end user, it\u2019s a critical process. And back-end developers may not only command high salaries, but could also see big bonuses and other compensation, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine yourself shopping for a brand-new car.
