What s the salary difference between a director and a manager?

Zippia calculates the average salary for a manager at about $73,000 per year, while the salary of a director average at about $148,000, leaving a gap of about $75,000 annually.

Of course, this is in many ways just an estimate, as your salary will be hugely dependent on what you're managing or directing, your level of experience, and the field you're working in. But, as you can see, directors make almost twice as much money as managers on average.
