How much does a loan officer make per month?

Loan officers earned a median of $76,690 per year in May 2025, or $36.87 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Monthly pay varies widely because compensation structures differ: some loan officers are paid a flat salary, some earn commission, and many earn base pay plus commission on the loans they originate.
