I run a remote frontend job board and every posting goes through a parser for pay, level, stack and location. I pulled Aug–Oct 2026 to see what remote frontend actually pays. What the data says (1,013 postings with pay): Median $140k, but 72% of postings list no pay at all Where you may live matters most: North America $155k, worldwide $125.5k, Europe $90k, Latin America $45k Only 1 in 19 "remote" jobs is open worldwide Senior to staff is the biggest jump: $151k to $204k (+34%) North America only: TypeScript $175k, React $166.5k, JS-only $150k, Vue $145k, Angular $138k Postings with pay get about a third more apply clicks per view (19.0% vs 14.2%) The $200k+ roles get the fewest applicants: 0.51 apply clicks per posting, against 1.57 for $120–160k Caveats: this is advertised pay, not offers, and US postings disclose much more often, partly because of state laws. The Latin America (45) and Asia (29) samples are small.

It looked low to me.   submitted by   /u/angelnikolov [link]   [comments]
