The bar is the range of annual wages for Judges, Magistrate Judges, and Magistrates across every employer in Florida, from the 10th to the 90th percentile, with the middle 50% highlighted. The marker shows State Courts System’s median base salary for this role. Both figures are base pay only.
And across the country
Nationwide, the median wage for Judges, Magistrate Judges, and Magistrates — about 24,030 people — is $153,990. State Courts System’s median base salary is 23% above that national figure, about the 72nd percentile of pay for the occupation nationally.
Local and national wages differ for reasons beyond how well a job pays — cost of living, the mix of employers, and local demand for the occupation all move the Florida range relative to the national one.
Computed over the 274 of 276 people in this role paid at least $25,000in base salary. The rest are part-year or part-time records, whose actual pay isn’t comparable to a full-time annual wage.
Median total compensation for this role at State Courts System is $189,755, which includes overtime and employer-paid benefits. The benchmark above excludes both, so total compensation is deliberately not compared against it.
Benchmark: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (May 2025). BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) covers all employers in the area — private, non-profit, and government alike — so this is a comparison against the whole local labor market for the occupation, not against private-sector pay. OEWS wages are straight-time pay and exclude overtime, shift differentials, and employer-paid benefits, so the government figure shown here is base pay on the same basis. Total compensation is not comparable to it. Job titles are matched to the closest standard occupation, so the comparison is between similar work rather than an identical job classification.
