Anyone know where the teachers get paid the most ? I’m in Miami, FL and the amount we get paid vs. the cost of living is the worst in the country. Would like to see different options and see where would be a good place to move possibly based on Salary and cost of living
(Salary is approximately $48k down here)

The ones with higher salaries all have higher cost of living.

New England has a bit of a higher cost of living, so teacher salaries here are a bit higher. I honestly don't think any state pays us what we're truly worth and it's disgusting.

I concur, even if the salary is good (???), the cost of living in those states is normally high, making our paycheck inadequate. My opinion!

California and New York pay very well, but not sure you’d want to leave Florida, given the current political affairs occurring in those states.

Unfortunately in most big cities we are seeing something happen that’s already happened in California and New York. The housing market is becoming over stimulated by corporate greed. Many homes are being bought by companies and in many cases entire blocks are being gobbled up completely pricing out single family buyers.

Here in Indianapolis, you can still make a decent amount teaching and the cost of living is still relatively low, but you’ll want to look in specific surrounding areas of the city unless you’re willing to spend thousands over appraisal.

Until politicians decide it’s a problem and do something about it the housing market will continue to balloon out of control and it makes relocating tougher.

Of course you can always rent but who would ever rent in this climate of equity building when you have stable income coming in?

NY is the highest paying state. I live in western NY, cost of living is decent, definitely lower than Miami and teachers are paid fairly well where I live. Public pays better than charter. I would stay away from NYC and surrounding areas because while the pay is good the cost of living is very high.

Texas has a decent balance between salaries and cost of living. In and around San Antonio, typical new teacher salaries around 50k, cost of a typical starter home 2-300k.

I think Washington State pays well, thanks to a raise a few years ago. The cost of living on the west side (Seattle area) is high but it’s better here on the east side of the state. It’s really beautiful here, too!

With a Masters, plus a SpEd & ELA endorsement, I earn 73K before taxes; albeit, this is my first year as a certificated educator. Prior to being hired for this position however; I subbed a lot. It should also be noted that while going through the alternative route to certification, I was teaching under a conditional certification. Suffice is to state that the Evergreen State pays accordingly.

I live and teach In Columbus, Ga. Cost of living compared to pay is decent. It’s why I haven’t left. I thought about moving to NC where my parents live and found out teachers made less and cost of living was more, so I stayed. Housing is affordable and Atlanta is just 90 minutes away if I wanted a getaway.

When I left Florida and moved to Northwest Arkansas 11 years ago, I got an $8000 a year raise. The cost of living here is significantly lower. I have been very happy with the move. The students are more respectful, and the parents are more supportive. The resources available for the classroom are also much better. I miss my beach, but teaching here is better than in Florida for dozens of reasons.

I used to say Central Florida (better *around* and not *in* Orlando) was a decent exchange financially (not excellent, but decent), but the housing is through the ROOF right now. It's become high demand with everybody and their Momma moving here.

Are you talking about public school?

most Ohio districts pay rather well and the cost of living is relatively low compared to the rest of the country. but the state of education with the insane hyper-political "education" bills make it a place I am no longer happy to live in.

In MN it varies district to district. I work in a rural district so the pay is decent vs. cost of living, but only if you buy a home. The rental market around here is crazy!

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
