Clear pay data for people who settle claims
We help career changers and working adjusters understand what the job really pays — and how to earn more of it.
Why this site exists
Ask ten adjusters what the job pays and you will hear ten answers. Staff adjusters quote salaries, independents talk about fee bills, CAT adjusters remember their best storm, and public adjusters talk percentages. None of it is wrong — it just isn't comparable.
Insurance Adjuster Salary pulls that information into one place. We anchor our numbers to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, translate fee schedules and contingency fees into annual income, and explain the trade-offs behind each path in plain English.
We also believe getting started should be fast and affordable. That is why we point new adjusters toward online pre-licensing courses that can have them licensed in about a week.
Our editorial standards
Sourced
National pay figures come from the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook. Role and state ranges are clearly labeled as estimates.
Independent
We are not an insurance carrier or adjusting firm. We may earn a commission from course links, which never changes our pay data.
Updated
We review guides as new wage data, fee schedules and licensing rules are published, and date every update.
