Choosing “PC game tester” as a profession is a matter of enjoyment and fun. The best part is that one gets to play the latest PC games and is also paid to do so. Honestly, what more can anyone ask for?

But the matter of concern is that what can be the monthly salary of a computer game tester? After all, money is the most important thing and if the pay is not that good then why would a person even continue in such profession?

The average salary that one can earn is about $10-$20 thousand per year and even approximately up to $80-$100 thousand per year.

The money earned is directly proportional to how many jobs he gets as well as which developers hire him.

In general, beta testers are paid $8-$20 per hour, depending on their experience. For the sake of convenience let’s take an example.

Let’s assume a person earns $10 per hour. It is assumed that he/she works for about 30 to 40 hours per week.

So if the wage is calculated, then we see that 40 hours multiplied by $10 gives a weekly paycheck of $400 provided he/she works that many hours per week.

Now more is the experience more is the charge per hour and more is the charge per hour, better is your income per week. This means that you can earn more money once you have the experience.

Although being a PC game tester sounds like “big money”, it is not considered as a secured job. If you are not famous and renowned enough in the market of game testers, then you might end up waiting for a job just like many other people.

One won’t get a testing job every week or every month, you might have to wait in between many of your testing jobs. You need to reach out to the developers via your work.

You need to make them feel that “they” need a PC game tester like you, instead you of the fact that you need them.
