Marketing Manager salary
79 market ranges · employer-stated pay · updated Nov 3, 2026
The best-evidenced figure here is for marketing manager roles at mid level across the United States: 1,222 postings where the employer stated pay put the middle half between $102,500 and $147,300, with a median of $125,000.
Pay rises with seniority across the United States: the medians run mid-level $125,000 and senior $160,000. Moving from mid-level to senior is worth roughly 28% more.
Location moves the number too. Of the 5 cities with at least 25 postings in USD at mid level, San Francisco has the highest median at $155,000 and Los Angeles the lowest at $99,000, a gap of roughly 57%.
Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 19 of the 60 ranges in the table rest on fewer than 10 postings and are marked hint: treat those as hints rather than benchmarks.
