Tech content writers can make a wide range of salaries, depending on the type and amount of work they do. Entry-level tech writers may earn anywhere from $20 to $60 per hour or more depending on their experience level. A mid-level tech writer with two to five years' experience could make an average salary of around $50,000 to $80,000 per year. More experienced technical writers with greater expertise and longer track records in the field can easily command over six figures annually for their services. Additionally, some tech content writers get paid royalties for books or online courses they create; those payments can add up significantly if the project is successful.
