The salary data is based on the expected salary of over 350,000 remote developers in Arc's network. Developers provide us with their expected salary after passing our comprehensive vetting process (click here to learn more about Arc’s vetting process).
In addition to software development experience, our research indicates two other major factors that affect salary expectations:
・Local rent and cost of living.
・English ability (in countries where English is not the primary language, developers with a good command of English can often charge a premium compared to local rates).
In addition to providing a base salary, organizations may offer remote developers a more comprehensive package when hired long-term. This package may include benefits such as health insurance, equipment stipends, cash bonuses for high performance, company equity, etc. (For more information on benefits frequently offered to remote developers, click here.)
