Hi guys, I am from a game dev house in Asia, and we are in the process of completing our first major title, which can broadly be classified as a squad action title, in the same league as Hidden and Dangerous. Now heres my question - I would like to know the average monthly salaries of coders, creative artists and game designers and writers in the US and Europe. I understand that it would not be possible to give specific figures, so ballpark figures would do . We essentially need this data to do a feasibility study.

Gamasutra's 2002 salary survey.

You'll also need to nose around the IRS's website for tax information. The company pays a portion of the employee's income tax, IIRC.

And then there's benefits on top of all that - which you can probably research at any general job seeker's site.
