It depends upon the companies and the experience of the individuals.And How well they are in interpreting the language.It depends upon the demand too,in some countries we cannot find more interpreters like Arizona where the demand would be high and compensation as well.And in some countries like America there is high competition for interpreters.

Many states do have their own QA certification for sign language interpreters. However, there are many states which do not. However, another certification option for interpreters is to get EIPA (educationally) certified or to get RID (nationally) certified. -Paul http://asigninterpreters.com
The amount of education that a sign language interpreter must have depends on what kind of interpreter you want to become. It used to be that all you needed to become an interpreter was the knowledge of sign language and whatever language you were interpreting it to or from. Because of the deaf community pushing for better qualified interpreters, most states now require interpreters to pass a state or national test. Most of these tests require both a written as well as a performance test of some kind. While it is not yet required in most states to have any formal education in sign language, most interpreters have at least an associates degree from an interpreter training program. These programs train its interpreters in much more than just how to sign. Students learn how to process information, how to handle themselves in different settings, and the code of ethics that interpreters are required to follow. In recent years some colleges are now offering bachelors degrees in American Sign Language Interpreting. I suspect that eventually some type of college degree will be required to work as a sign language interpreter.

I'm assuming you mean a professional Sign Language Interpreter. It generally depends on your qualifications: how long you've been interpreting and whether or not you have certification. An interpreter fresh out of a program can expect to make approximately $12-$15 dollars an hour while nationally certified interpreters with years of experience can command approximately $40-$50 an hour. Interpreters for legal court often make more than most other interpreters because they are extremely specialized.
