Actuary Salary (United States)

United States actuaries typically earn around 115,000 to 130,000 dollars per year, with fully credentialed fellows often well above 150,000.

Overview

These are indicative figures drawn from federal wage statistics and industry surveys. Actuaries price risk for insurers, pension plans and consultancies, and their pay is tied unusually closely to exam progress: employers often grant raises or bonuses for each professional exam passed on the way to associate and fellow status with the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society. The exams take years and pass rates are low, which limits supply. Consulting and senior insurance roles pay at the top of the range.
