Planning Your Tech Hiring Strategy? The 2025/26 Technology Salary Guide Is Here

CompuStaff is proud to announce the release of the 2025/26 Technology Salary Guide, providing employers with current and credible compensation insights across Canada’s evolving tech landscape. CompuStaff would like to acknowledge Aplin and Impact Recruitment for contributing to the dataset that shaped this national resource.

This guide covers salary expectations for more than 50 technical roles, including development, cloud and DevOps, data and analytics, ERP, project management, business analysis, IT support, and AI-driven engineering functions, giving employers the transparency needed to budget competitively, strengthen attraction, and reduce time-to-hire. This guide will also help job seekers know their worth and advocate for fair compensation in line with current market conditions.

The 2025/26 edition reflects national hiring and salary conditions validated through industry research and live placement activity. It also acknowledges one of the most significant shifts emerging in the market: the increasing demand for cloud architecture, cybersecurity, AI capabilities, and the growing use of contract and project-based tech resources.

“Organizations are continuing to compete aggressively for high-impact technical talent,” says Matt Munoz, Senior Vice President at CompuStaff. “Clear compensation intelligence gives hiring teams an advantage, helping them move faster, attract stronger candidates, and stay aligned to market reality.”
