Is $75,000 a good salary in Atlanta?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Whether you are weighing an offer or a career change, it helps to know where $75,000 sits in the Atlanta job market. Federal wage data shows it is well above the metro's typical wage. Robust Roofing in Johns Creek offers a full-time Roofing Project Manager role with a $75,000 per year base, and the role also pays a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, an unusually generous structure in roofing sales.

Is $75,000 a good salary in Atlanta?

By the numbers, yes. $75,000 is well above what the typical worker in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metro earns, and it is close to the median pay of several skilled professional occupations in the region.

Whether it is good for you depends on your household, your commute and where you are coming from, and this page does not try to judge cost of living. What wage data can show is how $75,000 compares with what Atlanta employers actually pay, which is the comparison most job seekers are really asking about.

How does $75,000 compare with the typical Atlanta wage?

$75,000 is about 47 percent higher than the $51,170 median annual wage for all occupations in the Atlanta metro, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (May 2025).

The median is the midpoint: of the roughly 2.9 million jobs the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted in the metro, half pay more and half pay less. A $75,000 salary therefore puts you comfortably above the middle of the Atlanta wage scale.

What jobs in metro Atlanta pay around $75,000 a year?

Several skilled occupations in metro Atlanta have median pay close to $75,000, including claims adjusters, loan officers, human resources specialists and elementary school teachers. These are medians, so half of the people in each job earn more and half earn less.

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, May 2025 (data.bls.gov/oes/#/area/0012060/2025). Each of these is its own career path with its own entry requirements, and the figures are metro-wide medians, not job offers. Sales occupations are covered separately in the highest paying sales jobs in Atlanta.

Several of these jobs use the same skills a storm restoration Project Manager uses every day. Teachers explain complicated things patiently and keep many moving pieces organized. Claims adjusters already know how property damage is photographed, documented and scoped. Loan officers guide families through paperwork and deadlines at a stressful moment. If you hold one of these jobs now, see whether a teacher can become a roofing project manager, whether an insurance adjuster can become a roofing project manager and jobs for real estate agents and loan officers in a slow market.

Can you earn a $75,000 base without roofing experience?

Yes, at Robust Roofing. Its Roofing Project Manager role comes with a $75,000 per year base, and roofing experience is not required; Robust Roofing hires for communication, follow-through and honesty and trains the rest.

New Project Managers get training toward HAAG certification, which Robust provides, and work beside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff. The work is people-facing and organized: free roof inspections with photos, documenting storm damage, meeting the insurance company's adjuster at the house, submitting supplements for missed items, walking homeowners through options and colors in the RoofMap portal, and coordinating the build through the final walkthrough. Most replacements finish in one day.

A base is not universal in roofing sales: about one in three roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused ones do, according to the JobNimbus Peak Performance report (2025).

What else does the Robust Roofing role pay?

In addition to the $75,000 per year base, Robust Roofing also pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap.

A 10/50/50, a widely used roofing plan, takes 10 percent off the top before splitting what is left; Robust Roofing takes nothing. Its 50% share is more than double the 20% of profit most common among roofers that pay on profit, according to JobNimbus. How the base and the split work together is explained in your interview. Top performers can make upwards of $400,000 a year. That is top-performer potential, not typical pay; what you make depends on the roofs you sell and build. The details are on the $75,000 base salary roofing job page and in roofing project manager salary in Atlanta.

The role is full time, based around Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro and serving 39 North Georgia cities. Robust Roofing holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews and gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered missions, a level of giving that is almost unheard of in business. It is a Christian company, and everyone is welcome to apply.
