International Colorist Salary Survey 2020
Thank you for helping us gather information about compensation and working conditions among our profession, among colorists.
The goal for this survey is to collect anonymous information about salaries (daily rates and wages) and working conditions. We are not recording names or email addresses and won't publish individual responses. Your information will not be identifiable by country, city, age and gender. We will only publish aggregate data derived from a minimum number of responses that share certain values.
For the sake of simple comparison, we will ask you to calculate a DAILY rate, even if you usually charge by the hour or per project. Base your daily rate on an 8 hour day as a guide. Please keep that in mind, when filling in the appropriate fields.
The results will be published on the grade.community website and shared with the Colorist Society International (CSI). We hope it will be useful to all in evaluating employment status, including equal pay by gender and experience level, and help guide starting colorists in questions about rates and wages.
We encourage you to share this questionnaire with industry colleagues, but, please, only one response per person.
Thank you!
