Azure developers in the US bill roughly $65 to $145 per hour on vetted marketplaces, $135 to $235 through agencies, and earn $110,000 to $185,000 full-time. Azure architects sit at the top of the band, and rates hold firm in the enterprise segment because most Microsoft-standard organizations cannot simply switch providers.

$65 to $145 per hour on a vetted marketplace, $135 to $235 through an agency, or $110,000 to $185,000 as a full-time base salary.
The bands overlap almost completely. Differences come from the work involved, not the provider, though enterprise Azure engagements skew toward architecture and therefore toward higher rates.
Architect-level engagements run $120 to $180 per hour. Most are short: a landing zone or migration design takes two to six weeks, then delivery moves to a lower-cost team.
