How this salary benchmark is calculated
Acturhire uses advertised compensation from actuarial job postings. Salary ranges are annualized where possible and summarized using posting-level salary points, medians, and percentile ranges to reduce the effect of outliers.
This level currently includes 254 postings with usable salary data through August 2026. Practice-area and state comparisons require at least 20 observations and exclude unknown categories.
Figures describe advertised annual base salary—not accepted offers, bonuses, equity, pensions, or other benefits. Historical results can include roles that have closed, and small or highly specialized samples may not represent the wider market.
