Sherpas typically earn between $30 and $50 per day, depending on their experience and the specific tasks they perform, such as guiding or carrying loads for climbers.

Additionally, tips from climbers can substantially increase their overall earnings. Despite their crucial role in mountaineering, Sherpas often face financial instability due to the seasonal nature of their work.
