10 Work From Home Jobs That Pay $20 an Hour or More

Finding legitimate work-from-home jobs that pay $20 an hour or more is possible, although these openings are competitive. The ten companies below had qualifying remote positions open when I checked them.

Some only require a high school diploma and customer service experience, while the higher-paying non-phone or specialized jobs expect more specific skills.

At $20 an hour, a full-time 40-hour workweek equals about $41,600 per year before taxes.

If not having a degree is your main concern, I also have a larger list of work-from-home jobs that do not require a college degree. You can also check my complete list of non-phone work-from-home jobs if you would rather avoid calls.

Keep in mind that remote does not always mean you can work from every state. Some employers exclude certain locations or require employees to work set hours in a specific time zone.

Before You Apply

These openings show that not every remote job paying $20 or more requires a college degree. However, most employers still want customer service experience, strong communication skills, technical comfort, or experience in a specific field.

If customer support is your strongest skill, compare these openings with my list of higher-paying remote customer service jobs. If buying a computer would be a barrier, see these companies that send remote workers a computer.

Apply through the official company links above, and read the location and schedule requirements before submitting your application. Job listings can close quickly, so check the employer's career page if you find that a link no longer works.
