How Much Do Architects Make?

- Learn how much architects make and six strategies you can use to earn more no matter what you’re doing right now. Although it’s a frequently asked question, how much you’re able to earn practicing architecture isn’t the most useful question because it completely ignores the expense side of the balance sheet. This video offers a different - and more critical - way to look at earnings (in any profession and at any skill level).
In this video I also offer six strategies for earning more:
- Develop a Budget
- Control your time
- Diversify your income
- Become indispensable
- Work for yourself
- Get licensed
So, how much do architects make? Well, according to the bureau of labor statistics, here in the US, the median salary for an architect in 2016 was about $77,000. The top 10 percent earned more than $130,000, and the bottom 10 percent less than $47,000. Where you’ll fall within that range depends on factors like geographic location, firm size, your level of experience, and the project types you’ll be working on. For a more granular look at these data check the Bureau of Labor Statistics website: www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes17... as well as the AIA site which has a compensation calculator: info.aia.org/salary/salary.aspx
Approaching compensation with an entrepreneurial mindset (as a business would a balance sheet) is the best place to start earning more.
Please note that the experiences described in the video are my personal experiences and none are offered as financial or legal advice. I can’t be held responsible for your financial decisions, I’m an architect, not a financial advisor or lawyer.

Check out the book I mentioned that changed my approach to time, life and business: thirtybyforty.com/4hww
We spend so much of our lives working, in my opinion you are far better off doing something you love even if it pays you less, as long as you can cover a reasonable cost of living.
As my Dad always says, time is something you can't get back, money can be made but be happy making it!
30X40 Design Workshop what does annual salary mean?
30X40 Design Workshop how to attract client more into architectural buisness I’m just beginner been in Architect world for roughly 7years. But my prob is how to get expose and attract more client. So I don’t have to go everywhere to get client. Need ur advice
Here in Puerto Rico , it’s very different . An entry March graduate could earn between 8 to 10 usd per hour, 15 to20 if experienced unlicensed top. Not to mention other constraints . If you’re licensed the best is to practice on your own .
Congratulations for your videos!! Keep it up!
An architect in my town started from nothing 10 years ago and now has a private jet and offices all over.
LOL
Progress and determination
hmmm ... 10years live target... I was sure that just a legend.. but its evidence that really works! ;-D
It took me 10 years just to become an architect. *sigh*
🧢
Another quick topic to mention should be location. My first job at an architecture office happened to be in NYC and I started at 50,000/ year. You can average about 3,000 - 5,000/ year raises after that in the city. I was in a position that moved very quickly and by my 3rd year there I was making 80,000 based on my design skills/ qualifications. As Eric mentioned, you can move very quickly if you become an expert in a specific field or branch. Long story short, I soon moved out of the city and im working in an Architecture firm in upstate New York. After my 3 years of experience in the city, my starting salary is 55,000/ year, but im much happier. Location in an urban or rural setting has a very big impact on salary, but one of the biggest takeaways you learn...its not all about the money.
Hey, It sounds like you are doing good in the architectual business. I'm 14 and in my 3rd year of Highschool in a Caribbean country, planning to become an architect but i don't know how well i will succeed in this 3rd world country. Do you have any tips that could help me? #Sean O'Connell
@@tayshaungentle2871 i would say start networking if you haven't already. Whether it's in your country or another country. What are your goals? Do you want to stay where you're at or are you willing to relocate? Also, start researching schools. Doesn't have to be Yale or Harvard. You can go to a much more affordable university (speaking about US). I don't know too much about the Caribbean schools. But, if you are planning to come to the US, then you need to make sure your experience and credits will transfer to the US. I've known people who were educated in other countries only to have their classes not transfer because of the university they went to. That would be unfortunate. In the US if you really really really want to be an Architect you need to go to an accredited school that has the 5 year Bachelor of Architecture. I went to a 4 year University and have a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. That is a pre-professional degree and you'd have to have 2 years of a Masters to get accredited. That's called the 4+2 program. I'm fortunate though. When I graduated I am still able to get my license with the 4 year degree thankfully. It's on my to do list, but I'm in construction now.
@@hockley91 Thank you so much for the helpful tips. I will surely take them into consideration as i continue my studies. I just want to be successful in life doing something i like, Which would be in Architecture or Planning/ Designing houses. Have a nice day as you have already made mine.
@@hockley91 wow that's thst such a blessing, wishing the best to you! How come I hear architecture is at leeeaast 5 years? If a uni says 5 years, should I consider it would take 6 or 7 too? Without the Masters
@@mvp5332 Thanks for the comments! The 5 year degree is a Bachelor of Architecture. it's an accredited degree and will allow you to be licensed in all 50 states. Unless you have other things going on in your life it should take you five years.
I have the four year pre-professional degree. That is a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. That is a four year degree. That will limit the choices I have to be licensed in certain states. However, I got my degree years ago and fortunately I am able to get licensed here in my State of Texas.
Enough to buy an Eames lounge chair. That's all that matters.
I'm glad someone has their priorities in check. ;)
awesome. first bonus check i ever received as an intern i went out and bought a leather chair...wasn't large enough to get an eames...but it remains one of my best investments...
+1
Hi Eric, I have a question what really multivated you as a child to developed the love for Architecture?
Brenton Seriously why does every architect have that chair?
So far, I have only come across this architecture vlogging/youtube channel that actually touch on real life of an architect. We are fed with so many wishywashy conceptual things and so many top architecture schools are full of imaginary things in which the students love to adore.
funny how disconnected the actual practice of a profession can be from the academic training we offer our students...
thanks for sharing your thoughts...
glad im not the only one, also wealth means much more than just monetary gains
I still remember when I was at the first year of the university, one of my professors told us that if we wanted to make a lot of money, don't be an architect lol
Do u regret now?
@@winterwolf211 is it true that they don't make a lot money on average?
MissMiia also depends on what city you work at, I’m in arch school, but I was lucky enough to start designing coming out of highschool since I got associated with a construction company that would pass me any drawings and designs that they needed. So at a fairly young age I was getting known as a designer in Los Angeles. So that has helped me make some money to reinvest in equipment and employees.
@@mindhunter8772 but do architects earn rise avarage salary?
Seungbin Yoo why
I am about to start archi. college in less than 3 weeks in Germany, honestly i can't wait! Even though a lot of people said its not a great job since u need experience and so on. I wont give up.
I would also like to thank you sir, for your wonderful videos. Keep being great, cheers to you all. God bless!
you're about to enter one of the most rewarding times of your life my friend...enjoy it...forget the naysayers. you'll find negative people in every profession, heads down and focus on making things and you'll do well...best to you in archi-school
You'll feel like giving up a lot, trust me, but don't let it stop you!
Auch Deutsch :)
Astrojack hi I also wanna study archi in Germany so which is the best college in Germany for archi if u know ?
The amount of time you put into architecture will greatly exceed people studying other majors, I hope you can learn to truly enjoy the process.
Too bad Hollywood, made the Architect life style is all about fancy car, clothes and everything. So I grew up thinking that how its going to be, went to college than got hit by reality so fast hahaha.
However, if you have the passion at least you would be happy doing a good respectable creative job (not threaten by automation in the future), building lasting building, something great for the community.
If the working life doesn't suit you, its easy to do a career shift because architecture college prepares you for a lot of things. Design, art, engineering, management, marketing, environmental, computer, even filming and animation. It's one of the hardest colleges, so it will make most of these things seems easier in terms of time and effort needs to put in them.
so true, our training prepares us for many different career paths...very few who attend architecture school actually go on to be licensed architects. I do believe we can change how we're compensated and I'm always experimenting in my practice with new ways to earn more...those fancy cars / clothes don't do well on job sites anyhow...
I actually liked your videos on having a Passive Income, it's really important to have it. It makes you flexible and more experienced. Even if the economy takes a hit, you wont suffer as much.
We now suffer temporary in Egypt from this after the devaluation of our currency in half! So having a passive income online in dollars can become higher than our monthly salaries with the local currency.
@@HanaTNT Romans 8:17
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. ///// Build your house on the mountain that is Jesus Christ, money is fleeting.
Why does it sounds to fun? Ahahah. Im so excited.
Not typically a video I would watch, but I ended up learning more about life than I have from most content on RUclips. Thank you so much!
100% agree with getting licensed. Glad you emphasize it.
Eric - Very inspired by your work. I worked as a management consultant for health tech companies for 7 years and still do it on the side, but have transitioned into a building career and found your channel looking for videos on how to draw floor plans. Currently apprenticing with a semi-retired builder here in Oakland, CA. I can attest that a bunch of money once your basic needs are met, does not buy more happiness and as you've alluded, keeping your expenses low is pretty much a superpower to having the freedom to do what you want as far as I'm concerned. I've sent this video to an architect friend of mine as a source of inspiration. Cheers.
much respect...cheers...
Just after watching a few videos of yours... as an aspiring architecture student, I can say you’re one hell of a knowledgeable man, great resource for architects in general, and extremely inspiring with your organization and communication skills!! Thank you ! Please keep doing what you’re doing.
I am so glad that I found you're videos and started watching them. Your an inspirational dude.
appreciate it my friend...
I'd like to say that your channel is extremely motivational and I thank you for that. I'm a junior graphics designer and the fact I get to work from home and helping people achieve the designs they dream of makes me go to bed happy every night. Knowing I helped them achieve something makes me feel that sense of fulfillment. End of story, less expenses = happier life, don't be a slave to consumerism.
I studying Environmental Science and Management in Australia. That and architecture were equally as interesting to me, and so I went with Enviro. But its missing the creativity that architecture has! You make architecture feel like more of an aspiration to me with every video of yours I watch! And you hit the nail on the head when you talk about what success is to you.
Thanks for oyu great videos!
I'm an architect student in the U.K. and in my second year now- your advice and videos have tremendously helped ease me through the first year and I will continue to watch you until I finish my degree 😃 keep up the good work and thank you for your help!
...and after your degree too...right? ;)
thanks for watching...
Of course!!! You are full of knowledge that I know will help me throughout my journey! 😃
second year architecr here too
Good luck
jinz0001 How is archi btw. I’m doing GCSEs atm and what did you take for Alevels 😊
You have one of the best channels I ever found on RUclips...cheers buddy . A real professional role model.

Im a young Quantity Surveyor and still find your channel extremly motivational and some what relevant to my provetion.
Keep it up, loving it!
Fab content - currently binge listening while working remotely.
Some great advise and fantastic detail in all topics. For someone very interested in architecture but went down the technology route these videos are very insightful.
Thank you
I can't stop watching your videos. I'm almost 30 but I've wanted to be an architect since I was a kid. Your advice and ideas are helping to shape my vision and I can't wait to check back in when I've finally reached my personal level of success.
Hi Eric! I just came across your channel and am blown away by the quality and presentation of insight in each of your videos I've so far! I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge.
welcome to the channel...glad to have you here...!
I really love how your video focused on happiness and not money. Very well said! 😌
Thank you for the added info and perspective...I'm about to graduate with my B. Env Design in a couple weeks, and this topic has been weighing heavily- as I am continuing on to grad school next semester for my D.Arch (another 3 years. ahhh!). I appreciate your insight and advice to strategizing/realizing what is most important. Keep the videos coming!!
Even after practicing for 30 years...16 years with my own firm. You gave me some real insight here.
Thank you!
Your videos are so inspiring. Am I an Architect as well and I want to start working for myself. I think theses videos are going to help me a lot. Thank you so much. Cheers
Your channel is brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing your knwoledge. Greatings from Venezuela.
You are wonderful Saint. So precise, honest, blunt, and kind. Please keep spreading humanity.

Nailed it! I will send my viewers to this answer to the "BIG" question. Thanks mate
I learn so muck just from listening you speaking about architecture that helps me a lot understanding the architecture more and more. Thanks a lot about all the information that you share with as through youtube and i will be glad if i have the chanse to meet you some day somewhere. Good job .
Great tips man im just in high school but this really helps
I've been in practice for 23 years this is really great stuff.
Wow, I have to say you are sharing a wealth of knowledge with your videos! I stumbled upon your channel by chance and have been extremely impressed! You are putting out some very professional and thoughtful content. You will be very successful on the RUclips platform! Cheers and thanks for the free knowledge you are sharing!
I’m an architecture student in the u.k, in my final year of masters. The advice is great for all aspiring architects... great motivation, wish you all the best!
I have been doing design/build work for many years. I want to congratulate you on a well made video. You may have taken some of the romance of the profession for the up and coming newbees, but, you provided a good dosis of reality!
Very valid and useful information. I am planning on getting licensed and I am excited for the opportunity to move into that light. I feel as if when I watch the videos that it is an extended architectural education. Keep going!!!! Much appreciated.
respect my friend. good hearing the videos are resonating with you.
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS CHANNEL! Being young industrial/automotive designer living in a (smaller) corporate world, these invaluable advices really push me towards an independent and creative future. Thank you!
you're quite welcome...fascinating to hear who watches the vids...!
One of the best chanels. Thanks!
Great content and inspiration. Thank you. GDS Architects.
Beautiful video, you are awesome man!
I admire and appreciate the real passion. This channel is really valuable. Keep it up. You have vievers in Poland. ---- Pozdrowienia z Polski
Great content. Love and respect from Ghana
This talk moves me beyond hope and into possibilities, targeted goals and working methods as I graduated with an MA yrs ago but was 'leveraged' by debts for a long time. Yes,I can do this!
Cheers Eric another great insightful video and one of the biggest talking points at University. Surprising how many people think that they will be earning millions as an Architect. For me its about the passion of design and physically crafting the world around us; adapting and changing the life of strangers and communities- money doesn't even factor into my success equation. Always an inspiration and looking forward to the next video!
now that's spoken like a true architect. keep - and spread - this attitude every chance you get...we need more of it in the world...
thanks for your continued support my friend...appreciate it...
Another good video. I like to call myself "Self Unemployed"! :-) I have never practiced for the money. I have told my kids "If you are good at what you do, you will make money".. I liken my doing architecture to playing on a football team. All I want to do is play! I don't want to be the famous QB or running back who everyone knows and get the big bucks. They usually don't last that long. I want to be the 2nd string left tackle that gets to play in the league for 15 years. Why? Because I get to play for 15 years! I know you will understand. More common with creatives, "This is my life, this is not just a job". Keep up the good work. Maybe somewhere down the road we can do a hangout just to share battle scars. Have a relaxing weekend!
Tim...not surprisingly, I really like the way you think...
...would be great to do a hangout some time...
As a high school student hoping to become an architect this helped me a lot in thinking of how to run and track my life and goals thank you for doing what you do and I am pleased to find your channel I hope to learn a lot more from you. Would you mind doing a videos on different school I. The Midwest that have good programs I’m still looking for schools and don’t know which ones are better than others
welcome +Sam Rp, glad to have you here...

@@30by40 i want to become an architect, in this year i am going to graduate from high school can you give some advice that can help me.
Really great video! I've been looking around for answers to this question and I think this was the most sufficient answer I got. Thanks, and love your channel btw. Best of luck in the future!
glad to help...thanks for being a part of the community here...cheers...
This is 100% great advice on budgeting and managing your financial life. As he notes, you have to like the analytical part of being an architect, the people making really big incomes are developers, there are no country clubs or yacht harbors full of rich architects. If you want the official, legal title “Architect “ registration is the first thing to do after school, no excuses.
Your videos are seriously the best - thank you
Personally Thanks a lot... I consider it a great advice... I'm not architect... I am software designer. Sometimes used to watch your videos in free time. The way you compiled it is also amazing.
Once again thanks :)
That picture! PRICELESS! Thanks for the videos as always :)
the hair...oy...
thanks +creativiTea!
i've really just chose architecture because i wanted to do something i can enjoy and to have the chance to go to work everyday knowing that i will have a new experience trying new things , i'm graduating university this year and i'm facing alot of problems , i'm not very interested in money but i feel like i couldn't find my self yet , not my designing style or my touch on peojects. I mostly work on projects just to pass or something like that , at the end it wasn't the experience i was hoping for , but finding your channel really helped me to be able to dream again and despite the fact that i'll graduate soon i will try to continue my master degree and try to find myself again because succeed for me is to be able to love what i'm doing and make people love it as well !
you are definitely making the kinds of videos i like watching!!!!
Big thx. As an arch student I learn a lot from you
this video is a great representation of how i feel and think about the term “success”. many thanks for the videos and guidance!!! and happy holidays
"Freedom. Purpose. Relationships."
Eric, that's so simple and so hard to achieve these days.
Thank you for your footage!
It's great!
agreed...it takes consistent effort! i put these at the top of my weekly schedule as a reminder, it does help.
I'm in the process of dressing up to go to school.... I graduate next may. After 6 years of school I feel trapped in a world I can't get out of. Watching your videos destroys and rebuilds my dreams, I haven't stopped studying since I was 12 and now I am in a carrier I love, doing everything but what I love about it....the fact that it is the way it's supposed to go is frightening, but I'm calmed by the thought that I can do whatever I want after I have passed a certain threshold. Without having anyone around me that could guide me (first in my family to go to school here in the U.S and only architect in my extended family) I'm happy to have found your videos, thank you
You run my favorite channel on youtube. I'm studying architecture and you give me the best advice for every questions or doubts I've ever had. Thank you. ❤️
A wealth of wisdom. Thank you!
Dude! Fellow self-employed "architect" here (unlicensed but thriving under another's wings). Thanks for the awesome vids and inspiration. You're a smart m-Fer! Also, I LOVE the pace and diction of your videos. Reality tends to move too slowly for me most of the time. Lets get efficient and effective! Godspeed
thanks for noticing...i set a goal in january to try and improve production value this year...
appreciate you watching and commenting!
\m/
Can't stress getting your license enough. It's night and day. I postponed it for 10 years after my IDP was complete. Makes a huge difference, not just in freedom to leave a job but also the respect you get within the community.
Thank you so much for providing such great advice to everyone! I am a first-year Architecture student at Louisiana Tech University. Often, there are stereotypes of what architects are supposed to do after college, you have really helped me expand my options for what is to come of my career. I am declaring a minor in Business Leadership- my dream has always been to either open up my own firm or to be self-employed, your experience and advice is really inspiring. Thank you so much for providing these amazing videos and helping me to keep pushing through, even when things become tough! Have a great day.
Best Regards,
Katelyn Reynolds
thanks for your comment Katelyn...kind words are always nice to hear...
Excellent summation of the topic. I'm in the bottom 10% in terms of fee earning. But I am self-employed, work on average a three day week, have no debt., time to enjoy gardening, my relationships, and feel that I have found my niche in residential projects. If I wanted to earn even whatever it is that the middle 50% earn, I would have to commute for 4 hours to work a 5 day week and sit at a desk pushing a mouse around for most of the time.
Your video might help me alot in my career.. thank you for this!
sensibility vs wishful thinking.
thanks for sharing
Amazing video and insights.!
I am a young graduate architect from Nigeria. Been rummaging on some of the questions you answered in this video for a while now (working on my own, billing clients et al) and I'm so glad your answers gave me clarity.
thank you!

This video is awesome. Thanks.
Thank you for giving me courage by making this video. It's very informative! I am planning to be an architect. Hoping that I would become a person like you too.
Hello Eric, I find your videos to be inspirational and educational, especially this one about an architect's typical income as well as your videos on model making, which seems to be your passion. To be honest, your sketch models look as good as presentation models. I am currently struggling with trying to complete and repair an architectural model I made in undergrad but cutting acrylic with an OLFA utility knife I find more difficult now than back then when I was in my 20's, more than 25 years ago. I still have not gotten my Masters in Architecture degree but have been pre-accepted into a program on West Coast of the States. I plan to start it in 4 years after I complete my current Masters of Divinity program. Praying to Jesus for you and your family. Please pray for me and my family. God bless, Albert.
Awesome video! Im a 2nd year architecture student in Australia. Your videos inspire me and drive me to be the architect that I want to be along with being successful inlife. This made me realise that being successful doesnt mean I have to be rich, instead it means being happy. Thanks for the good work and keep it up! Liked and subscribed.
thanks for the sub and glad I could plant a different seed out there in the world that success doesn't have to be equated with money...cheers...!
Great video! I've been a designer for 15 years and worked for myself for 9 years so far. I am not licensed but very experienced in many practices and technology, management, finance, marketing, etc so that has helped me to have the courage and freedom to pursue my own business. I have also diversified my services more recently to include photography, videography and aerial drone services to supplement income between the big jobs. The longer I do this the more I agree that earning passive income is the key to an enjoyable level of success without burning yourself out...unfortunately that phase of development is still in progress for me, so I continue to fight with selling my time, luckily my business is debt free and cash flows all expenses and purchases, plus my salary (this is the first year I have exceeded my income working for someone else as well). There's still room to grow, but I'm glad there are people like you out there inspiring me!
good on you my friend...sounds like you have a fantastic thing going. it's a struggle though, I'm right there with you. it's easy to fall into the consulting model (trading time for dollars) b/c it is lucrative...! keep at it and share what you're learning, I'm someone who doesn't believe this is a zero sum game...room for all us to do well for ourselves and our families...cheers...!
If I studying architecture ,is it a bad major？
meanpicke
It's actually really good if you have "people oriented spirits" like a doctor. Because it is the only way you can really enjoy it beside how much you earning every month *sorry for bad english*
Wow! That sounds AMAZING! I'm 14 and I am very interested in having property architecture as my main income and to develop/flip/rent properties as an additional path of income to create finacial success - good on you my friend - keep up what you are doing, it sounds awesome! :)
Im not an architect. I'm just lookin around for my house construction. But I love your vids, specially those advice u gave that are not just applicable for architects but to life in general. Thanks
This is one of the reasons that I’m getting into the Architecture profession. Not the money, the fulfillment that I hope to find. Going back for masters in August! Thanks for this video.
hahahahahaha good luck mate. You're gonna need it.
These are awesome. Thanks for your hardwork on these videos.
A lot was said that few consider. Flat out, live as simply as you can. I stumbled across this because I enjoy architecture but in construction it seems everything is a box and boxes in boxes. Something new that jumps out from everything being done is interesting or architecture no longer used as gothic, cathedral, the various forms of craftsmanship through time. This guy offers good advise.
Eric - As always, great video!!!
thank you!
I love your videos here’s another sub!
Great concepts! Thank you. Cheers from Argentna
Very Interesting video.Congratulations!!!

Hey please yes keep making videos! I really enjoy the information and mind set. I look forward to the future of your channel!! :-)
Thank you for this great video.
I loved the end about what defines success and by it what drives the decision making
im starting to watch all of your videos and it really inspires me a lot, im an Architect here in the philippines and same with you i have my own architectural studio, and i think we have the same passion in photography and music too..
I love your positivity. God bless you. I have a long way to go. Thank you for taking the time to build these types of nontangeable positive blocks in our minds.
God bless
This helped so much! Thankyou
you are making videos i love to watch .. you help a lot .. thank you
|m|
Eric you have a great head on your shoulders and your thoughts on debt are vital. One thing to think about is your attitude of only making 12 dollars an hour all those years ago and carrying all that debt. Boy you were up against it and you felt it right? Lots of people never leave that stage and many smart hardworking people watching you would aspire to be making 12 dollars an hour with health insurance included, TODAY. I think the attitude you show and teach on your channel is a big help to people looking to break that cycle, and not merely other architects who aspire to earn more and more. As a great teacher of mine once said: "Don't forget about the lady on the bus."
Thank You so much for your Videos. I find them so inspirational and I share them with my friends when we need some motivation. I'm currently a first-year student in Architecture School in New Zealand and loving it. I definitely agree with your views on this matter and hope to be in your position one day. Thank you for the advice and sharing your knowledge and experience :)
P.S. Your studio is STUNNING.
hey...kind words my friend...many thanks...so glad you found it helpful...
wishing I was heading into spring like you lot in the southern hemisphere...instead I'm buckling down for winter! cheers...

ngl, didn't expect such a useful and to the point video on the topic. Everywhere you look, you find people saying buzz words, "well, you won't make money at the start but keep working and it'll pay off, right?" And no real advice.
But this video is freaking gold. Love you for this.
I'm Struggling right now finding drive but for a few years getting into architecture has been my goal which is increasingly difficult to attain academically (grades). I wanted to thank you for instilling a little more hope in me and giving my goal a tangible result!
keep after it...have you seen this: ruclips.net/video/nLUU6wcA3qE/видео.html
I have seen it! Also very inspirational. As of now, I have a certain plan and a goal that's more tangible to get to. Life is looking up!
