This article will show you the average back-end developer salaries based on criteria such as level of knowledge, experience, geolocation, and skills. We’ll take the information and data from popular sites – Indeed.com, Payscale, and Glassdoor. They will help us do a more detailed study of developer salaries. Also, we’ll compare back-end developer salaries in different countries and Ukraine as well.
1. Back-end developers salary comparison by US states
The USA is one of the most developed countries in the IT field worldwide. In this part, we will compare the salaries of back-end engineers from different states, and then we will analyze how salary depends on location. First, let’s consider average salaries by US states using data from Glassdoor. Then, we’ve prepared a bar graph (Graph 1) based on our research results.
2. Back-end developer salary comparison by countries (in the year)
Now we will compare developers’ salaries from different countries using our bar graph (Graph 2): USA, UK, Poland, and Ukraine. For this research, we’ve used SalaryExpert and its database.
The average back-end developer salary in the UK is £53 961, equal to $73790,32.
For the USA, we’ve chosen the average salary for ALL states. So, the average USA back-end developer salary is equal to $100 692,23.
The following country is Poland. Poland has a not bad position as a business destination in Eastern Europe. SalaryExpert indicates that Poland’s average back-end developer salary is $37 398,68 (145 403 zł).

3. Developer salary comparison by countries and programming languages (Python, Ruby & PHP)
Shall we compare salaries by country and programming languages that are popular in back-end development? It’s Python, Ruby, and PHP. Look at Graph 3 and consider Ruby; here’s an unusual moment – Ruby developers cost more in the UK than Python, for example. But if we concentrate on another country, we can see that Ruby’s bar is lower than the others. It happens with all programming languages today. In every country, different programmers needed. Ukrainian developers’ salaries are changing regarding programming languages too, but in comparison by other countries will be cost-efficient for a long time.
