How much does a public insurance adjuster earn?

There is no separate federal wage series for public adjusters. Public adjusters work on behalf of policyholders and are paid a percentage of the settled claim; in Texas, state law caps their fee at 10% of the settlement. For context, claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators as a group earned a median annual wage of $78,000 in May 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
