Good question, . In the U.S., what many call a "computer technician" typically maps to help desk, desktop support, or field technician roles. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) lists national median pay for computer support specialists at about $60k per year, which is roughly $29 per hour. Pay varies a lot by city and industry, and large metro areas tend to pay more than small towns. See the BLS overview and local wage tables for current medians by state and metro area: BLS Occupational Outlook: Computer Support Specialists and BLS OEWS: Computer User Support Specialists (state and metro wages).

As a quick rule of thumb, entry-level roles are often around $18-$25/hr in lower-cost areas and $25-$35/hr in big cities; experienced techs and field roles with heavier responsibilities can land $30-$40+/hr in high-cost markets. To estimate monthly pay before taxes, multiply hourly by ~173.33. Examples: $20/hr is about $3,467/month; $30/hr is about $5,200/month.

A few things that move the number up or down:

  • City and industry (finance, healthcare, and government often pay more).
  • Certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+), hands-on experience, and shift work.
  • Employment type: W-2 with benefits vs. 1099 contract, and overtime eligibility.

@mu ta was right to ask which country; for the U.S., narrow down to a target city, check the BLS metro wage table, then compare against posted ranges for roles titled Desktop Support, Help Desk, or Field Service.
