AI training pay calculator

What an hourly rate comes to over a week, a month and a year, before tax, and where it sits among the rates platforms post, for all roles or just your field.

Before tax and fees. A month is a typical one (a week's pay × 52 ÷ 12); a year uses the weeks you enter, so it allows for holidays and weeks with no work. The currency only changes the symbol: nothing is converted.

Set aside for tax

Where you pay tax

A rough guide, not tax advice. Most platforms don't take tax off, so you pay it yourself. This works out income tax on the national scale and the main contribution self-employed people pay, for one person whose only income is this work, before any expenses. Regional taxes, other income, reliefs and special schemes aren't included: the notes for each country name the main ones, with links to the official pages.

Where your rate sits

Compare with

Across 1,104 postings that state an hourly rate, the median is $60/hr. The middle half pay $30 to $95/hr, and the top 10% pay $145/hr or more.

Bars count postings in $10 ranges (the last two are $150–200 and $200+). Green: ranges below your rate. The dashed line is the median. Posted rates are in US dollars, at the midpoint of each posting's range; "up to" ceilings, rates per hour of audio and paid studies are left out, and a posting repeated for another country or language counts once. See the full pay data.

क्षेत्र के अनुसार

Fields with at least 30 postings that state a rate, by the main kind of work in each posting, highest median first. Tap a field to compare your rate with it.

Bar: the middle half of each field's posted rates, on a $0 to $250 scale; the mark is the median. US dollars per hour.

Before you count on it

Almost all platforms pay contractors, not employees: you're paid for the hours or tasks you log, usually with no holiday pay, sick pay or pension contributions, and you usually handle your own tax.
Hours are rarely steady. Projects pause, queues run empty and new projects start without notice, so a full year at the same hours is the best case.
Some work is paid per task or per approved hour, which can come to less than the time you spent. See the glossary for what these terms mean.
Most platforms pay in US dollars, so what reaches your account depends on exchange rates and transfer fees.

This isn't tax or financial advice. The guide to AI training jobs links to the official tax guides for the countries with the most roles.
