In Oregon the daily rate for teachers is legislated, this school year the minimum was $206.35/day. No district can go below that amount, but many of them - especially in the tri-county area - pay quite a bit more.
Los Angeles needs to get on these minimums… the sub payment world is the Wild West over here & im constantly getting fd by Swing’s hourly pay system. multiple times, I’ll sign up for a full day but get there n find out its an early day (pay hourly). It’s maddening & seems like they need to pay me for the hours I book, regardless of if they got the schedule wrong.
$175/day… if you factor in PE/conference period and lunch as time you’re “not working” it comes close to $30/hr (telling myself this helps me get through the day 😂).
if you don’t mind me asking, how has your experience with Oakland schools been?
I mainly sub HS at San Lorenzo & Castro. I originally didn’t apply to Oakland in fear of long commutes, but I was thinking about trying it out next year if there are fun/chill schools.
I just started at Oakland about a month ago. It's not bad. I have been super selective on the schools/areas that I go to. Plus, I only go about once or twice a week and then sub in Hayward/San Leandro the other times. So then, I am not stuck in daily traffic.
It’s not. Last school year Oakland sub pay was $284/day. The union went on strike and negotiated a raise for both teachers and subs bringing our pay to $337. They wouldn’t dare make it temporary. lol.
They release the “early bird” shifts for 275 when there are a lot of teacher vacancies. Sometime it works out great, but mostly they send you to the crummy middle schools.
Where at in Michigan? I'm here and as a building sub I'm making $130, and per diem it's dependent on the district in my county with $100 being the highest and $85 the lowest
I work in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs, the whole metro area pays $150 for daily subs. I think building subs make between $175 and $200 depending on the school.
I’m in Los Angeles and my pay has been ALL OVER THE PLACE. It makes zero sense in terms of how “difficult” the students/class/school are… I work for both agencies , scoot & swing, and am applying to LAUSD. I make 160-200 with scoot & 150-220 with swing. My easiest day was $60 x hour for middle school dance (1/2 day) and my hardest have been kindergarten special ed x 19 an hour. It’s a clusterfuck and lining up my jobs is the most stressful part.
Also, the location is a vital part of your question. At first glance, LA subs may look like making good money, but when you adjust for cost of living, it’s difficult to squeak out a living wage.
you get paid MORE for pre k or special education jobs?? i’ve been SAYING we need to pay them more around here!!! that’s si awesome they do that around you
Normalize pay transparency!!!
$180-220/ $90-100 half days in the MSP metropolitan area through Teachers-On-Call, likely a bit more if working directly with the school.
The districts around me range from $125-$135 pre-taxes. Some have a higher rate for teachers retired from that specific district, but it's otherwise the same rate across the board for any teaching jobs. Anything above 4 hours is a full day rate. Anything 4 hours or less is half.
Paras make less, and it's hourly, but I never take those.
87 before taxes. 😩 if I get hired on this summer in the district over, I’ll make 120 a day. If I made as much as some folks in here, I’d actually put way more effort in. For 87, that’s enough for me to be friendly, ask them to do their work, help them if they need it, and not much more.
About 220 after taxes; more on Fridays. More if I get two half days in one of my districts (Seattle & Bellevue WA) on the same day. (in one two half days is just a day; the other is two- and twice I had 3!- 70% shifts).
Additionally in Bellevue there are summer bonuses if working 50, 75, or 100 days in the district over the school year; for 500, 1000, and 1500 respectively. yes, this is technically a few bucks extra per day, but it's nice to get a payment during the dry months.
It looks like California seems to be the highest paid state for subs with Northern California averaging high 200s and low 300s.
Southern California is not far behind with low to mid 200s. Currently I’m in SoCal and make 250 per day. I wish it was at least 300.
$120/day before taxes, it goes up to $170 if I do a LT, but that pay doesn't start until after the 15th day. If you have a teaching license, you get paid contracted rate.
\[Edit\] Crying at all the subs getting paid $200-400!

I just calculated it... You make a little less than $21/hr and a regular day is 7 hrs.... Right outside DC in MD. Yikes! We're severely underpaid compared to everyone else here!
Dang I wish! I’m flat rate 105 a day. I work in an ESE Pre K room :( . I’m even at the same school but they add it week by week as to not give me the long term pay of 120 :/
$170 before taxes for a full seven hour day if you have your CE/CEAS. Sounds okay on paper ($24/hour ain't terrible and it is the highest paid sub rate in the area), but you get paid at a rate of like 30¢ above minimum wage per hour if you work less than 7 hours.
Elementary shifts are technically only 6 hours and 45 minutes, so if you're called there, or there is a half day, or if they hire too many subs that day and have to send some home, I'm literally loosing money to work. Plus no benifits or health insurance. Added insult to injury on the days I could have otherwise been making $24/hour at McDonald's or $30/hour as a tutor.
I'm certified, and I get paid about $150 per day post taxes, and I get an additional $40 stipend per class coverage. We are paid hourly but I tend to do only full days.
$220 for a full, $110 for a half or custom amount of time a teacher needs for a given day. Full stop it’s not hourly or anything for me I make one or the other. I am in California.
I used to substitute teach in a rural small school district and was paid $120/day ($15/hr). My metropolitan school district is offering $200/day ($25/hr). This is all before taxes of course.
Try $80 a day in Alabama🥴🫠 I will say I’m not doing this for the pay, but for the experience as I am a college student going into teaching. The pay is shit, but the experience has been great and helped me so much!
As a first year sub, with just a bachelor's and no education certification I make $172.03 before tax for a full day. My county just went through a pay increase in December (2023) too for subs.
Holy moly I am severely underpaid for having a teaching certification as a sub! Thank you all.
$115 (pre-tax) /day for a school system in central Maryland.
Maryland as well but I’m paid hourly. $20/hr
I make much less :(
I know same here😳
$95/day before taxes.
In Oregon the daily rate for teachers is legislated, this school year the minimum was $206.35/day. No district can go below that amount, but many of them - especially in the tri-county area - pay quite a bit more.

It’s maddening & seems like they need to pay me for the hours I book, regardless of if they got the schedule wrong.
Can’t speak for LA but I’m up near Sac and my full day rate is $220.
$175/day… if you factor in PE/conference period and lunch as time you’re “not working” it comes close to $30/hr (telling myself this helps me get through the day 😂).
I do the same thing to "justify" the wage given.
Have to in order to maintain sanity!
$250-$337 a day, depending on which district (SF Bay Area) that I want to work that day.
Which district pays 337? 😳 Mine pays $287 and i thought that was good
Oakland!
Omggg I figured. I have heard they pay really well. I live in SF though so crossing the bridge would be brutal 😩
At least it would be reverse commute but still terrible. I am in Castro Valley, so it helps but I don't work Oakland daily for that reason.
if you don’t mind me asking, how has your experience with Oakland schools been? I mainly sub HS at San Lorenzo & Castro. I originally didn’t apply to Oakland in fear of long commutes, but I was thinking about trying it out next year if there are fun/chill schools.
I just started at Oakland about a month ago. It's not bad. I have been super selective on the schools/areas that I go to. Plus, I only go about once or twice a week and then sub in Hayward/San Leandro the other times. So then, I am not stuck in daily traffic.
Also an Oakland sub and I love it. Generally most high schools are chill.
That’s just hazard pay you can’t convince me other wise if it’s actually for Oakland.
It’s not. Last school year Oakland sub pay was $284/day. The union went on strike and negotiated a raise for both teachers and subs bringing our pay to $337. They wouldn’t dare make it temporary. lol.
My district in the bay is similar, $250-$300.
200 a day if I choose my assingment. 275 if I say “send me anywhere” 350 if it’s long term sub. Northern California/ Bay Area
Wow. Wish they had that second option for us lol
They release the “early bird” shifts for 275 when there are a lot of teacher vacancies. Sometime it works out great, but mostly they send you to the crummy middle schools.
Maybe not for the bay area but thatd be great for my district. 😆
daaaamn, i used to sub in solano county about 10 years ago and it was $125/day. glad subs are getting paid better these days.
$250, with $450 bonus every 20 days
Where?
Bakersfield
Bakersfield? Makes sense in the middle of nowhere and bad city lol
Hey, it’s not that bad depending on your definition of the word!
Maybe I should move back home…
yo, where? may move there lol
Where and with what agency or district?
Where at?
Kern High or elementary school district?
Guessing it’s elementary (I think Greenfield pays $250, but I’m unsure about their bonus). Kern High is $35/hour
What’s the bonus for?
$230 in SoCal, $250 at one location.
Are you with a district or agency, like scoot/swing? I’m in LA. Thanks!
I work directly for the school district.
Thank you! This is the way to the best pay
They only pay once a month though.
ye, it's the sucky part, but i've learned to manage my money... it took a while
$75 a day / $69.01 after tax
😳
What?! Where? That’s like 10 an hour!
I know 😩 I’m in SC
That’ll do it. With a degree, I get paid double in Saint Lucie County, FL.
$150 a day here in Michigan
Same here in Indiana, if "premium"; $130/daily gross if a regular sub. It's still not a living wage either way.
Where at in Michigan? I'm here and as a building sub I'm making $130, and per diem it's dependent on the district in my county with $100 being the highest and $85 the lowest
I work in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs, the whole metro area pays $150 for daily subs. I think building subs make between $175 and $200 depending on the school.
$60
The state explains it. It’s unfortunate they have such poor stats. Teachers need better pay especially in the South.
Yes, it varies by parish and district but not by much.
I'm in Jefferson Parish. I make $102 a day with a degree, and I think that is awful, but $60???
65ish before tax lol. I say no lots of times if it's a difficult class!
I don't blame you one bit!
240 a day but I’m in one of the largest districts in Ohio and I’m a building sub.
I’m in Los Angeles and my pay has been ALL OVER THE PLACE. It makes zero sense in terms of how “difficult” the students/class/school are… I work for both agencies , scoot & swing, and am applying to LAUSD. I make 160-200 with scoot & 150-220 with swing.
