For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Insurance Appraisers, Auto Damage (SOC 13-1032) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $38,231 in Aguadilla, PR to $89,295 in Greenville, SC, and the median Level IV wage across 100 major H-1B metros is $87,568.
