The BLS does not have a specific classification for professional organizers. As a vast majority of professional organizers are self-employed, setting their own rates, working hours, and so on, their earnings are not standard. How much they make depends on their hourly rates charged, the number of hours worked, and how many clients they have.

Rates for professional organizers start around $40.00 per hour, and increase based upon the experience of the organizer and the market to up to $200.00 per hour. However, even those organizers working full time do not usually work a typical 40 hour work week, and annual income is determined based upon earnings less expenses, often including travel, advertising and marketing, insurance, legal and accounting services, and other costs of doing business.

In June 2020, Payscale.com reported median hourly pay of $25.70 ($53,456 annually) for a professional organizer. Hourly pay ranged from a low of $14.56 ($30,285) to a high of $60.01 ($124,821). Factors that affect earnings include experience, geographic location, and the type of organizational services performed
