Highest-Paying Verified H-1B Sponsors

Highest-Paying Verified H-1B Sponsors

This ranking uses real median H-1B offered wages, pulled directly from US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (FY2020–2024) and computed the same way this site now computes wage data for its own company pages: median, not a simple average, specifically because a small number of outlier or misclassified filings can otherwise skew a mean heavily. Every company below has at least 200 certified filings with usable wage data behind its number.

Top 10 Companies by Median H-1B Wage

Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data, FY2020–2024. Median computed across all certified filings with usable annual-wage data per employer.

Why Median, Not Average?

A simple average (mean) of wage data is vulnerable to outliers — a small number of misclassified or unusually high filings can drag a company's reported "average" far above what most employees actually earn. Median (the middle value when all wages are sorted) is standard practice in salary reporting specifically because it isn't distorted the same way. This site switched its own company salary pages to median after finding exactly this kind of distortion during this data pull.

What This Ranking Doesn't Tell You

• It's company-wide, not role-specific. A company's median blends all roles and levels together — a specific role or seniority level may pay meaningfully above or below the median shown here.
• Total compensation isn't included. LCA wage data reflects base salary only, not equity, bonus, or other compensation — a company with a lower LCA median may still offer higher total compensation.
• Small companies are excluded. The 200-filing minimum avoids noisy rankings from companies with too few data points to be representative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use median instead of average wage?

Median is far more resistant to outliers — a handful of unusually high or misclassified filings can distort a simple average heavily, while median reflects the true middle of the distribution. It's standard practice in salary reporting for exactly this reason.

Does a higher median wage improve H-1B lottery odds?

Since February 27, 2026, USCIS weights the H-1B lottery by DOL wage level (Level I-IV), not by a company's overall median wage directly — but companies with consistently higher-level roles (which correlates with higher wages) do tend to generate more Level III/IV registrations, which get more lottery entries.

Is LCA wage data the same as total compensation?

No — LCA wage data reflects the base annual salary stated in the filing, not total compensation including equity, bonus, or benefits. A company's real total comp can differ meaningfully from its LCA-reported wage.
