Salary Surveys

DW Simpson is proud to provide the 2021 Actuarial Salary Survey. Each year we conduct a survey of the actuarial industry to provide the most accurate and timely data available, making our Salary Survey the industry standard.

Guide to interpreting the results of the salary surveys:

The horizontal axis (bottom) represents the years of experience.

The vertical axis (side) represents the dollar amount of compensation.

The green, blue and orange dots represent base salary (green), bonus (blue) and total compensation (orange).

The orange line (total compensation), the green line (base salary), and the blue line (bonus) are the linear graph of the mean (average) of the information provided.

DW Simpson Interactive Salary Survey

DW Simpson now offers an interactive Salary Survey powered by Power BI. The interactive survey allows for additional filter options.

The information in our interactive survey utilizes the same data in the above scatter graphs and depending on the number of filters you use, the results of your choices may only have a few data points. The information is best viewed in full-screen mode.

If you have any questions about our salary survey contact us at actuaries@dwsimpson.com.
