Level

What's the salary of a prompt engineer?

Only 3 live prompt engineer postings publish a USD range, too few to quote a median honestly, so the useful benchmark is the market-wide median maximum of $240,000 on 10,606 USD postings. Prompt is a rare title, 5 postings out of 26,929, so most prompt work is paid under broader titles like AI engineer. Measured September 2026.

How this number is measured

Every figure above is computed from the live postings on Level at the time of measurement, September 2026. Each posting is read for the AI tools and tasks it names, then rated Level 1 to 4. Salaries use the posting's own range, in US dollars only. Numbers are recomputed monthly and the page is updated when they move by more than 10 percent.
