Typical CTO Costs
In the United States, CTOs typically earn between $225,000 and $350,000 base pay a year, making it challenging for small to medium-sized businesses to hire and maintain such an individual.
Nonetheless, the importance of a technology leader for a growing business, cannot be overstated.
For those unable to afford a full-time CTO, the ideal alternative is to engage a part-time or “fractional” CTO. At less than half the base annual cost, a fractional CTO is an efficient and cost-effective solution for addressing your business’s technology needs.
