How to read the fractional & consulting pay numbers in Denver, CO

That $103k median comes from 16 Denver, CO postings with pay attached, spanning $39k at the low end to $676k at the top. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Fractional work is usually billed as a day rate or monthly retainer, so an annualized figure assumes a steady book of clients. Income varies with how many engagements run at once.

Use the median as your anchor, not the top of the range. One outlier listing can drag the maximum well above what a typical Denver role pays, so weigh any offer against the seniority that matches your own experience. Denver pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
