In collaboration with CECP, Taproot Foundation established the first average hourly rate for pro bono service in 2009 at $120. The current valuation, averaged across professional classes, is approximately $220 per hour. This calculation is based on US salary information (excluding benefits, bonuses, or other incentives) from the 2024 Salary Guide From Robert Half and salary and wage data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The dollar values reflect average, national hourly rates of pay, adjusted for consulting, for multiple professions across three levels of experience.
