Billing Clerks

Salaries for billing clerks depend on the size and geographic location of the company and the employee's skills. Full-time billing and posting clerks earned a median hourly wage of $21.92 in May 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). For full-time work at 40 hours per week, this hourly wage translates into an annual income of approximately $45,590. Fifty percent of billing clerks earned between $38,390 and $52,170. The DOL also reported that annual salaries for these workers ranged from less than $34,360 to more than $62,530. Earnings also vary by responsibilities; for example, billing clerks working in the offices of physicians earned a mean hourly income of $22.00 in May 2023. This translates into a yearly salary of approximately $45,760 for full-time work. Those who worked for accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services firms earned average hourly pay of $21.15 (or $44,000 annually). Billing clerks with high levels of expertise and management responsibilities may earn higher pay. Full-time workers also receive paid vacation, health insurance, and other benefits.
