It has been my experience that civil engineers in the United States start at $35,000 – 45,000. The average depends on level of career but overall it is $60,000 to 70,000. Top pay is $150,000 to $300,000, or even more if the engineer becomes an executive for a firm. Earning also depends on the location of the position. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the following numbers for starting salaries in the United States. Civil engineers with a Bachelor’s degree $43,697; Master’s degree, 48,050; Ph.D., $59,625. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the following numbers for average salaries of civil engineers. Median: $64,230; average of the bottom 10% is $42,610; average of the top 10% is $94,660.
