Hire iOS Developers in the Philippines

• An iOS developer designs and builds applications for mobile devices running Apple’s iOS operating software.
• The primary responsibility of an iOS programmer is to design and code the base application, ensure the quality of the application, fix application bugs, maintain the code, and implement application updates.

iOS developers’ salaries range from around $3.75 per hour for an entry-level or junior developer, all the way to upwards of $20 per hour for an experienced and highly skilled expert.

Entry Level: Expect to budget from around $3.75 per hour to approximately $6.00 per hour, depending on the individual developer. 

Intermediate: With between two and five years of experience on average, intermediate iOS developers in the Philippines usually ask for between $4.00 and $12.00 per hour.

Senior/Expert: This developer should have a minimum of five years of experience and clearly demonstrate a high level of proficiency and skill. Depending on the person, you can expect to budget anywhere between $6.00 and upwards of $20.00 per hour. 

As a general rule of thumb, taking into account the cost of living in the Philippines for an equivalent middle-class lifestyle in the USA is around ⅓ of the cost. The salary you look to pay your iOS web developer should reflect that and be around ¼ to ⅓ of what you’d pay an equivalent skilled iOS programmer in America. 

This is especially important if you want to hire somebody long-term and want to hire a developer that can easily replace a local developer without any quality compromise, but still significant cost savings for your business. 

Ultimately this is only a suggestion, and the actual hourly salary rate you decide to pay your Filipino web developer is entirely your decision.
