How Much Does a Movie Animator Earn?

Salary can be an important issue to consider as you're thinking about your future career as a movie animator or video game animator. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint your exact earning potential. There are many factors that influence animation salaries. Here are just a few things that may play a role in determining your salary:

  • The kind of company you work for
  • How much experience you have
  • Your education level
  • Where you live
  • Whether you work on a contract or full-time/permanent basis

While you may not know specifics until you're ready to look for a job, you can get a general idea. Based on HR data, Salary.com reports that the middle 50 percent of cartoonists and animators earn between $47,041 and $61,391.

Of course, when it comes to your career, not all rewards are monetary. Salary is only one part of your future job satisfaction. Having a career that challenges you and provides you with the opportunity to use your creativity and artistic ability can be a very fulfilling experience.
