According to a recent report from the state, the average annual salary for teachers in Indiana hit $60,557 during the 2023-24 school year. With benefits added in, the average teacher compensation in Indiana is nearly $80,000.
"I'm also pleased to share that, in Indiana, the total compensation for all teachers has surpassed $5 billion and 98 percent of school districts gave teachers a raise last year," Donato said. "Teacher pay is set locally, but at the Statehouse, I was happy to support a new law in 2023 that ensures at least 62 percent of schools' state tuition support is used for teacher salaries and benefits."
