CNC Machinist Salary

CNC Machinist salaries can vary greatly, depending on what your job role is, who you’re working for, and how many hours you’re working. A lot of companies require overtime, so you may be working 50, 60, and possibly 70 hours a week at certain jobs. Not all of them are this way, but you will be making a considerably higher amount by working overtime (time and a half)

New CNC Machinists start out around 30,000-40,000 a year. While this is pretty good pay after finishing school, it can be rather difficult to support a family with just this job.

A more experienced machinist with a higher role will make more due to the fact that they know how to do more, and can often run a shift as a shop foreman. A typical experienced CNC machinist will make about 50-60,000 a year, with a possibility of more with more overtime hours.
