Angi doesn't publish typical or average pro earnings, and no independent study with a stated sample measures them. Angi's pro sign-up page advertises lead volume, not pro earnings. The regulator figures describe advertised pay, and the pro count describes participation. None of them shows what a pro takes home.

In January 2025 the FTC and New York attorney general alleged that Handy advertised handyman pay of $45 an hour and lawn care pay of $62, while more than 90% of handyman workers made far less than $45 and fewer than 10% of lawn care workers earned $62. Those are advertised hourly rates and allegations about them, not monthly earnings. Angi's Q2 2026 earnings release reports average monthly active U.S. pros down 17% year over year. That counts how many pros are active, not what they earn.
