Appraiser vs Insurance Agent: which pays more?
The median for Appraiser is $79,800 per year (typically $79,513–$80,000), versus $65,000 for Insurance Agent ($60,000–$70,000). That puts Appraiser about 23% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Appraiser and Insurance Agent are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
