Michigan Teacher Salaries

Gathering information is the first step toward making an educated decision for your future.

• Will I be making a large enough salary as a teacher to support the lifestyle I wish to lead?
• What can I do if a Michigan teacher's salary is simply not high enough?

We recommend thoroughly examining the following salary information for Michigan's educators. We firmly believe Michigan's teacher salaries are highly competitive and are on the rise. Keep in mind that the following salaries are state salary rates without the addition of local supplements through district funding. Local supplements will boost these numbers anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000+ per year! At $56,973 for 2005, Michigan was ranked 4^th in the nation for average teacher salary. As you can see, local supplements will raise salaries significantly.

When viewing these numbers, keep in consideration such benefits as full dental, long-term disability and quality health insurance. We encourage you to explore what each school district has to offer you, take into consideration the area in which you wish to live and do the math to see if you will be satisfied. Good luck!
