Project Management Specialists Salary

It’s a stretch — at the median salary of $67K, rent takes 34.7% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $1,615/month. The 30% guideline puts the comfortable ceiling at roughly $1,400/month in rent — so roommates or a 1-bedroom would ease the math significantly.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new project management specialists typically earn — is $46K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $2,749/month.

Local pay runs 34% below the national median — $67K here vs. $102K nationally.

Guam pays $67K median vs. the U.S. average of $102K — that’s -34%.
