How much a typical worker makes at Intel, Facebook, Google and other big tech employers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A few surprises are coming to light as more of the nation’s biggest tech employers reveal how much they pay a typical worker.

However, it’s clear that the most established companies aren’t necessarily the ones that pay the highest.

Take, for example, chipmaker Intel Corp. With revenue last year of almost $63 billion, the Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker is neck-and-neck with Samsung for the title of the world’s biggest semiconductor maker. But the median Intel worker makes $45,540 less per year than his or her peer at Nvidia Corp. — its much smaller rival down the street. It’s worth noting that while Nvidia is a fabless chipmaker, Intel’s global manufacturing workforce is factored into its median employee pay figure.

You can see how many of the biggest tech employers — including Facebook, Google parent Alphabet, Intel, Salesforce.com, Tesla, Netflix, Twitter, eBay, PayPal, Yelp and more — compare in the gallery here.
