In a timely follow-up to the 3D Awards, CGarchitect has shared the much-anticipated results of the 2023 Architectural Visualization Salary Survey. This year's survey paints a detailed picture of salary trends within the industry, providing valuable insights for professionals.

The survey's salary data reveals a diverse income range among architectural visualization professionals. Notably, a significant portion of the industry, 16.04%, earns under $10,000 annually. This figure might include entry-level professionals, part-timers, or those in regions with lower living costs.

In contrast, 11.75% of respondents earn between $10,001 and $15,000, and 6.34% fall in the $15,001 to $20,000 bracket. These figures suggest a substantial segment of the industry is at the early stages of their career or working in lower-wage markets.

Middle-income brackets, such as those earning between $20,001 and $25,000 (7.65%) and $25,001 to $30,000 (6.72%), reflect a steady progression in the field, likely representing professionals with more experience or those in moderately priced geographic areas.

The 8.58% earning between $30,001 and $35,000 indicate a movement towards higher income brackets, likely as a result of increased experience, specialized skills, or employment in higher-paying markets.

These salary ranges offer a glimpse into the economic realities of the architectural visualization profession. They highlight not only the variances in income based on experience and location but also point to the potential for growth within the industry. For professionals, these figures can serve as benchmarks for career progression, while employers can use this data to ensure competitive and fair compensation practices.
