These figures come from 226 copywriting postings where the employer stated pay, covering 13 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 46 postings put the middle half between $72,000 and $95,000, with a median of $80,000.
Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $80,000, mid-level around $79,000 and senior around $114,000. Moving from entry-level to senior is worth roughly 44% more.
Location moves the number too. Of the 3 cities with enough disclosures to rank, Chicago pays most at around $92,000 and New York least at around $84,000, a gap of roughly 10%.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 8 of the 18 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
