Data Scientist Salary Trends in the US (2026 - 2022)

United States Data Scientist compensation from 2022 through 2026, focused on annual base salary and hourly equivalents. Historical national values use BLS and O*NET wage percentiles; 2026 national and experience-level Data Scientist compensation reconciles current job-posting, employee-reported, and recruiter benchmarks. Remote and onsite Data Scientist compensation is triangulated because BLS does not publish a workplace-mode wage series. The configured VP row uses VP of Engineering base-pay benchmarks as the disclosed executive proxy; all other rows use Data Scientist or materially overlapping data-science titles. Bonuses, additional cash compensation, and equity are excluded from every base salary range and reported separately.
