What our data shows for Actuaries

RoleHue publishes 18 salary records for Actuaries, across a single city. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $129,550 at the 25th percentile to $217,500 at the 75th, a spread of $87,950 around $177,671. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $177,671 figure rather than in dollars (50% of it), that spread is wider than 84% of the roles we cover, so a single figure summarises this title worse than it does most others.

Every one of those records comes from New York, NY, so nothing on this page should be read as a national figure. It is one metro's picture, and it will change shape as other cities reach the ten-record threshold we require before publishing a number.
