Average Butler Salaries
This salary guide is an average salary calculated using placements made by Gourmet Recruitment in the last 2 years. In this time we have placed over 50 butlers to HNWI homes and Royal Residences.
The salary guide provides an advantage not just for Butlers but for employers too, pay satisfaction enables the retention of current staff and attracts top talent which enhances an organisations (or individuals) reputation. Salary benchmarking helps Butlers compare salary packages offered by an employer against the market for future and current job roles.
The luxury market is a place where top talent is rewarded and individual relationships often dictate pay. Job roles frequently encompass much more and people perform duties outside just the usual Butler job description. So our research provides a rough guide. The guide is created using butler placements we have made with Luxury homes, royal households and Global travelling HNWIs.
Whether you’re looking to hire a butler or looking to be hired as a butler, the average butler salary guide provides a helpful resource. HNWI and Luxury outposts can explore how much butlers cost, and individual butlers can review their salary expectations. But obviously as with any job, the best will be extremely will paid and in demand.
