However, the financial benefits make it worthwhile. Earning this certification shows you have the skills to lead a team effectively. When a company hires someone with a PMP, it can yield a high return on investment. If you&#8217;re hired to manage and deliver projects, you can use your PMP project management experience. This can help reduce project costs and increase profitability for your employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of PMP certification holders is growing as more companies adopt project-oriented approaches. As processes and business strategies change, the need for project managers and similar roles will increase. High retirement or attrition rates in the industry also contribute to the demand for PMP holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, those who get their PMP often enjoy a higher annual salary than non-certified professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1874\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-3.png\" alt=\"PMP Certification Salary and Compensation Summary (USA) for Project Managers\" class=\"wp-image-8408\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"PMP-Certification-Salary-Range\">PMP Certification Salary Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMP certification can significantly boost your earning potential. In the US, non-certified project managers typically earn around $90,000 annually, while PMP holders average <strong>$120,000<\/strong>, which is an impressive <strong>33% increase<\/strong>. With such a substantial difference in earning potential, investing in your PMP certification could be one of the best career decisions you&#8217;ll make. Getting certified not only validates your expertise but also puts you in a stronger position for higher pay, with more opportunities for growth as you <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/4-reasons-employers-want-you-to-have-your-pmp-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advance in your career<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As stated in PMI\u2019s&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/learning\/careers\/project-management-salary-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Management Salary Survey 13th Edition<\/a><\/em>, most project managers surveyed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAbout two-thirds (66%) of survey respondents report that their total compensation (including salary, bonus and other cash incentives) increased over the 12 months prior to completing the salary survey.

Those with the PMP certification are valuable assets \u2013 and, it looks like companies worldwide are getting the hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s estimated by 2030, there will be 102 million project management-oriented employment (PMOE) job roles that need to be filled, according to the&nbsp;Project Management Institute\u2019s (PMI)<sup>\u00ae&nbsp;<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/learning\/thought-leadership\/narrowing-the-talent-gap#:~:text=Successful%20projects%20are%20a%20key,professions%20in%20the%20coming%20year.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Narrowing the Talent Gap report<\/a>. So, in less than a decade, there will be a staggeringly high demand for PMP certified individuals, but will there be a workforce to fill them? This need is why many project managers are pursuing the certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The-PMP-Provides-Global,-Professional-Recognition\">The PMP Provides Global, Professional Recognition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMP certification is the <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/what-is-the-pmp-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most widely recognized project management certification<\/a> in the world. When you hold this certification, you\u2019ll definitely earn a higher average salary, like we mentioned above. But, you\u2019ll also earn the respect of your peers, employers, and clients. You can use this certification to propel your career to new heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to broaden your career horizons is to hold a certification that provides both domestic and international recognition. The PMP certification is recognized on a global scale, holding value in both the U.S. and abroad. Why is the global appeal valuable? Living in the digital age has facilitated a new level of globalization. It\u2019s easier than ever for companies to reach into new markets and engage with international clients. So, by holding an internationally recognized and respected PMP certification, you can easily demonstrate your value in a global market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"378\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-1.png\" alt=\"Average PMP Certification Salary by Country\" class=\"wp-image-8347\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Creates-New-Career-Opportunities\">Creates New Career Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies and clients alike are quick to recognize the <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/pmp-certification-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits of having a&nbsp;PMP certification<\/a>&nbsp;holder on their team. PMP credential holders have a demonstrated knowledge of proven project management strategies, and they are presumably equipped to complete projects on time and on budget. Thus, if you\u2019re looking for opportunities to take on more responsibility, having a PMP certification on your resume can certainly open these doors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the recognition you receive as a PMP certification holder, you also likely benefit from greater job security. Companies don\u2019t want to invest in major projects only to see them fail when leadership changes hands. When you have the skills to consistently deliver projects on time and on budget, the value of having you on the team increases, and so does your job security.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that the average salary range can be greatly impacted by two key factors: experience, and project scope. Now that you have a better understanding as to <em>why<\/em>&nbsp;those who are PMP credential holders earn more, let\u2019s evaluate these two factors that further impact earning potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Earning-Potential-by-Experience\">Earning Potential by Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Logically, it only makes sense that someone with more experience has greater earning potential. But, how much of an earnings increase can PMP certification holders expect based on experience? Like many other industries, PMP credential holders with experience can expect higher average salaries as they move up in the workforce. But, it\u2019s essential that these PMP credential holders maintain their certification to stay competitive in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/iStock-921587490.jpg\" alt=\"iStock-921587490\">The PMP certification&nbsp;requires ongoing maintenance, including the completion of 60&nbsp;professional development units (PDUs)&nbsp;and payment of a renewal fee every three years. While this may seem like a lot of work or a big investment, you can expect the return on your investment to increase the longer you have your PMP credential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to PMI&#8217;s global salary data, US-based PMP certification holders continue to command strong compensation. Project managers with 5-10 years of experience earn around $110,000, while those with 15-20 years earn approximately $140,000. Seasoned professionals with over two decades of experience top the scale at $150,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By maintaining the certification, credential holders demonstrate to their employers that they\u2019re up-to-date on the lately project management strategies. Renewing certification coupled with years of applicable experience make PMP certification holders valuable assets to any organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Earning-Potential-by-Size-and-Scope-of-Projects\">Earning Potential by Size and Scope of Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to gaining and maintaining certification, the size and scope of projects you manage can have a positive effect on your&nbsp;PMP credential salary expectations. Not all projects demand the same level of attention to detail or mass coordination. And with greater experience comes a greater capability to manage even the most complex, time-intensive projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, PMP credential holders share the same goals \u2013 complete projects on time, in scope, and under budget. With larger, more complex projects, the need to effectively manage them intensifies. For PMP credential holders who work on complex, international, or large projects with large budgets, you can expect your post-PMP certification salary to reflect the greater effort put into your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As PMP credential holders progress in the workforce, they\u2019re likely to take on more and grow their skill set equipping them to manage large-scale projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the projected increase in need for PMP credential holders, now is the right time to pursue or renew your certification. You\u2019ll have the benefit of job security moving forward, and the opportunity to earn more as you maintain your active PMP certification status over the upcoming years. PMP certification salary expectations should be high because the demand for the profession is here and growing. Take advantage of the opportunities afforded to PMP credential holders and take the next step to maximize your earning potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Motivates-Learning-and-Improvement\">Motivates Learning and Improvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3294842\/iStock-1132287016.jpg\" alt=\"iStock-1132287016\">Both when you initially <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/articles\/ten-things-remember-pmp-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take the&nbsp;PMP certification exam<\/a>&nbsp;and as you work to maintain your certification, being a PMP credential holder encourages you to learn more about project management strategies and take steps to improve your skills.
