You might be curious as to what wages are available for chefs and other culinary professionals. There are many factors that affect the salary of a chef, including where you live and what type of job. There are many things you can do that will increase your chances of earning good wages. Start by looking at the various job types that you can apply for, and what education level you might have. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics provides a number of resources to help you determine what chefs are earning in each state.

Chefs who work in full-service restaurants usually earn the highest wages. In May 2021, the median annual wage of chefs and head cooks was $55,160. The wage for chefs working in hotels and motels is $47,350. Full-time chefs usually receive paid days off, paid sick time, and major medical insurance. Many chefs also receive retirement benefits.

Limited-service restaurants have the lowest-paid chefs, and head cooks. The lowest-paid 10% earned less than $23,260 in 2018. This gap in the pay is unlikely close anytime soon. If a chef is looking to rise up the culinary ranks, they can, provided that they have several years' work experience. This is essential because chefs must demonstrate business acumen, as well understanding of labor.

Some chefs may hold a college degree, while others may have an associate's or diploma from a vocational school. Higher salaries are likely for chefs with a college degree. Zippia data shows that 27% chefs have a bachelor's or higher degree.


The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that there will be an increase in chefs and head cooks by 10% between 2016-2020. This is more than the growth in food preparation supervisors. A chef's salary is determined by their education, experience, location, and other factors. Good chefs will earn a high salary if they enjoy their work. They will earn a lot of money depending on how hard they work and the level of their responsibility.

The national average salary for chefs and head cooks, while they can be paid in different places, is $51,960. This means that chefs in some states, such as Mississippi, Nevada, and Louisiana, earn more than the national average. But, chefs in some states earn less than the average national wage. Kansas, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington chefs make less than their state's average wages.
