Data

Every line below is computed from public data and the published rate tables on our methodology page. Confidence: Grade C. Documented numbers cover only a small share of this figure, so most of it is modeled from published rates and comparables (grades run from A, mostly documented, to C, mostly modeled).

How the modeled figures work. An undisclosed lead role after the breakthrough gets the median of disclosed lead salaries for its era and budget band, capped at 15% of the film’s budget. Supporting and pre-breakthrough roles get 2.5% of that median, the documented going rate for actors before stardom. Films with no reported budget are treated as small productions. Undocumented backend, endorsements, and producer or director credits enter as separate estimated lines in the calculation above, built from disclosed medians. Every median comes from the published tables on our methodology page.

  • RESIDENCE PROXY: residence not individually sourced for this batch; US-CA default applied until documented

Reproduce this number. A net worth estimate should be reproducible the way a scientific finding is: the same public inputs and the same published rates should always give the same answer. Film budgets and box office are public reporting. Every disclosed salary, fee rate, tax rate, savings rate, and benchmark return is published with citations on our methodology page. Undisclosed lead roles use the median of disclosed salaries for their era and budget band, capped at 15% of the film’s budget. Supporting and early-career roles use the documented pre-stardom fraction of that median. Undocumented backend, endorsements, and hyphenate credits enter as estimated lines from disclosed medians. Apply the rates year by year as shown above and you will land on $40.8 Million.

Methodology

We rebuild Maya’s career as a yearly time series. Disclosed salaries and documented backend enter as reported, with citations. Undisclosed lead roles get the median of disclosed salaries for their era and budget band, capped at 15% of the film’s budget. Supporting roles and roles from before the breakthrough get 2.5% of that median, the going-rate ratio measured from disclosed pre-stardom deals. Films with no reported budget are treated as small productions, and every role is estimated unless a source documents it was unpaid. Representation fees come out at sourced rates, taxes follow the eras actually lived through, spending follows measured household savings behavior unless court documents say otherwise, and what remains compounds at real market returns. Undocumented backend enters as an expected value from disclosed deals, endorsements at the median disclosed ambassador fee, and producer or director credits at union-scale floors.

The full model, every rate table, and how our estimates have checked out against real deals are on the methodology page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maya Hawke's net worth in 2026?

As of 2026, Maya Hawke's net worth is an estimated $40.8 Million. The estimate is built film by film from disclosed salaries and documented backend, then year by year: income, minus representation fees and taxes, minus spending, compounded at real market returns.

How does Maya Hawke make money?

Film salaries and documented backend participation.

How is Maya Hawke's net worth calculated?

Disclosed paydays enter as reported, with citations. Undisclosed lead roles use the median of disclosed salaries for their era and budget band, capped at 15% of the film's budget, and supporting or early-career roles use the documented pre-stardom fraction of that median. We subtract sourced representation fees, taxes for the years Maya actually worked, and spending from measured savings behavior, then compound at real market returns. Undocumented backend, endorsements, and producing credits enter as estimated lines from disclosed medians. Every rate and source is published.

How much does Maya Hawke make per film?

It varies by role and era, and the film-by-film table above lists the pay counted for every title. Disclosed paydays enter as reported. Undisclosed roles are modeled from what comparable actors earned in the same era and budget range, with lead roles after the breakthrough earning the most and supporting or early roles a documented fraction of that.

Why is the tax rate so high, and don't actors avoid it with a loan-out company?

Tax comes out at the effective rate for where Maya lived each year, which is the rate shown in the year-by-year table. In a high-tax state like California, combined federal and state income tax reaches close to half of a top earner's income, so those years run in the mid-40s percent. A loan-out company, the corporation many actors run their income through, does not lower the tax on the money they take home. Its real advantage is deducting business costs such as agent, manager, and attorney fees, and the model already subtracts those as a separate line before any tax is applied. High-earning performers also fall outside the pass-through business deduction that other company owners can claim, so it buys them no rate cut.

Why is this figure different from other net worth sites?

Most sites publish a single number with no way to check it. This estimate is built in the open: every salary, rate, and assumption is on the page, and the methodology page lists every source.

How accurate is this estimate?

No net worth estimate for a private individual is exact; this one is a model built from public data. The difference is that you can see how it was built and check every step. The confidence grade near the top of the calculation shows how much of the figure rests on disclosed numbers, and the page flags where a number leans on an assumption.

Is Maya Hawke rich compared to the average person?

Yes. A net worth of $40.8 Million is far above the median American household, which sits near $193,000 according to Federal Reserve data.

What is Maya Hawke's biggest source of wealth?

On this page it is film salaries, the largest line in the calculation at $79.1 Million. The full breakdown, with every other line and its source, is above.

How much does Maya Hawke make from endorsements?

The model counts $16.0 Million in career endorsement income for Maya: 1 named partnerships x the $4.0M annual fee from the median disclosed film deal x a 4-year term, spread across the deal years. It is an estimate, since the individual deal values are not all public, and it sits as its own line in the calculation above.

About NetWorth Explained

We originally created NWE because nobody in the public-figure net worth space showed their work. Magazines and sites threw out big numbers while hiding behind vague claims of “proprietary algorithms” or “insider knowledge.” That’s why we started the world’s only publication that transparently showed every assumption, every variable, and every calculation. We’re still the only ones who do it this way. Read more about NetWorth Explained.
