How much do vp of logisticss make in 2026?
A VP of logistics is nominally counted in the BLS transportation, storage and distribution managers series, but that series cannot describe the role's pay and this page will not pretend otherwise. SOC 11-3071 is a single management row covering warehouse, transportation and distribution managers alongside supply chain managers and directors; its national median of $107,230 a year ($51.55 an hour) is a mid-ladder manager's figure, and even its 90th percentile of $194,900 is a ceiling that sits below where most vice-president logistics packages land at large shippers, carriers and third-party logistics providers (OEWS May 2025). Two structural limits cause this. First, OEWS reports wages and salaries and excludes equity, long-term incentive and deferred compensation, which form a substantial part of executive pay. Second, its highest wage interval is open-ended and top-coded, so the survey cannot resolve the tail at all. The usable anchors here are the 75th percentile at $146,770 and the 90th at $194,900 — read as the floor of the executive range rather than its middle. Employment across the series is projected to grow 6.1% through 2034 with roughly 18,500 openings a year. → Full vp of logistics career guide, career path, credentials & placement →

- VP of Logisticss earn a national median $107,230/yr ($51.55/hr) (BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 11-3071); the P10 to P90 range is $65,120 to $194,900.
- The BLS series behind this page tops out at $194,900 at the 90th percentile, and that figure is best read as the floor of the vice-president range rather than a typical package.
- Two structural limits cause the understatement: OEWS measures wages and salaries only, excluding equity and long-term incentive, and its top wage interval is open-ended and top-coded.
- The $107,230 median in this row is a mid-ladder manager's number — SOC 11-3071 pools warehouse, transportation, distribution and supply chain management with the executive population.

Methodology & Sources
How the numbers on this page are built
Published (BLS): BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 11-3071, United States national estimate. Public, methodologically rigorous, but sampled on a rolling 3-year basis and published ~10 months after collection — so it reflects wages that are already 1–2 years old by the time you read them.
Level and certification medians: distributed across the published BLS percentile range for this SOC code (P10 through P90) according to the credential tiers this occupation actually hires at. They are modeled reference points, not separately surveyed wages.
State and metro figures: modeled — the BLS national median multiplied by the GlobalCybers state wage index, and for metros by the published metro index for that state. They are estimates of local pay, not BLS state or metropolitan-area observations, and are labelled as modeled in the tables below.
