Kotlin vs Spring / Spring Boot: which pays more?
The median for Kotlin is $177,000 per year (typically $106,301–$190,000), versus $77.50/hr for Spring / Spring Boot ($77.50/hr–$77.50/hr). That puts Kotlin about 10% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Kotlin and Spring / Spring Boot 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.
