Reddit crossed $1 million in revenue per head in the quarter ending June 2026, a target the company set at its March 2024 IPO. It reached that mark with 2,555 people on the payroll at the end of 2025. This post pulls Reddit employee statistics from SEC filings, Reddit’s own quarterly shareholder letter, and Revelio Labs workforce data, with the period and the measurement attached to every number.
Reddit Employee Statistics
How Many People Work At Reddit?
Reddit reported 2,555 employees as of December 31, 2025. A year earlier the figure was 2,233.
Both counts come from the human capital line in Reddit’s Form 10-K, which states total employees and the number based in the United States on a single date. Neither is an average over the year.
The US share of the workforce fell between the two filings, from 1,768 of 2,233 to 1,981 of 2,555.
| Date | Total employees | Based in the United States |
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | 2,233 | 1,768 |
| December 31, 2025 | 2,555 | 1,981 |

Reddit added about 100 people in the second quarter of 2026, CFO Drew Vollero said on the July 30, 2026 earnings call. He described hiring as focused on the consumer product, the ad stack and advertiser account coverage.
Reddit Employee Statistics On Revenue Per Head
Reddit publishes revenue per headcount as the sum of the last four quarters of revenue divided by the average headcount over those four quarters. It reached $1,077,000 in Q2 2026, up from $735,000 in Q2 2025.
Adjusted operating expenses per head rose over the same five quarters, from $436,000 to $531,000. Costs per person went up; revenue per person went up faster.
| Quarter | Revenue per head | Adjusted operating expense per head |
|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 | $735,000 | $436,000 |
| Q3 2025 | $808,000 | $452,000 |
| Q4 2025 | $904,000 | $478,000 |
| Q1 2026 | $986,000 | $504,000 |
| Q2 2026 | $1,077,000 | $531,000 |
Source: Reddit, Inc. Letter to Shareholders, Q2 2026 (trailing four-quarter basis).
Reddit reported Q2 2026 revenue of $805 million, up 61% year over year, and adjusted operating expenses of $392 million, or 49% of revenue against 57% a year earlier. Vollero called the revenue-per-head figure a target set at the IPO.
Reddit Employee Statistics By Department
Revelio Labs models Reddit’s workforce composition from public professional profiles rather than company payroll records. Its March 2026 snapshot splits the workforce into three functional groups.
Finance and operations is the largest at 1,220 people. Revelio’s finance and operations grouping absorbs functions that Reddit itself does not report separately, which is why it sits above engineering at a company built on software. For a look at how working programmers arrange their own workstations, this breakdown of developer desk setups covers the gear those roles actually use, down to keeping the cables under control.
| Function | Employees | Share of workforce |
|---|---|---|
| Finance and operations | 1,220 | 45.1% |
| Engineering | 1,088 | 40.2% |
| Sales and marketing | 398 | 14.7% |

Where Reddit employees are located
Revelio puts 1,770 Reddit employees in North America as of March 2026, or 66.5% of the 2,747 it counts globally.
That conflicts with Reddit’s own filing, which places 1,981 of 2,555 employees in the United States alone at the end of 2025. Revelio infers headcount from public profiles, so its geographic split and its total both differ from the company-reported numbers. The filing is the company’s own count; the tracker is a model.
| Region | Employees | Share of workforce |
|---|---|---|
| North America | 1,770 | 66.5% |
| Northern Europe | 217 | 8.2% |
| Southern Europe | 186 | 7.0% |
| South Asia | 126 | 4.7% |
| Western Europe | 117 | 4.4% |
| Southeast Asia | 56 | 2.1% |
| Pacific Islands | 46 | 1.7% |
| Sub-Saharan Africa | 37 | 1.4% |
| Eastern Europe | 37 | 1.4% |
| South America | 29 | 1.1% |

Reddit Employee Statistics On Salary
Revelio models an average Reddit salary of $171,155 globally in 2026, up 5.5% year over year. This is a modelled estimate built from public workforce data, not a figure Reddit discloses.
North America carries the highest median at $204,000. South Asia is lowest at $8,000. Reddit does not publish salary by region in its filings, so no company-reported comparison exists.
Median pay by region ranges across 15 regions in Revelio’s data, from $204,000 in North America down to $8,000 in South Asia, with Northern Europe at $152,000 and Western Europe at $134,000.

What Reddit Spends On Equity Compensation
Stock-based compensation and related taxes were $106.8 million in Q2 2026, or 13.3% of revenue. The same line was 19.0% of revenue in Q2 2025.
The dollar figure rose in Q2 2026 because Reddit’s annual grant lands in the second quarter, Vollero said on the call. As a share of revenue it has fallen across the five quarters.
| Quarter | SBC and related taxes | Share of revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 | $95.1M | 19.0% |
| Q3 2025 | $93.6M | 16.0% |
| Q4 2025 | $91.1M | 12.6% |
| Q1 2026 | $78.8M | 11.9% |
| Q2 2026 | $106.8M | 13.3% |
Source: Reddit, Inc. Letter to Shareholders, Q2 2026.
Reddit recognised $534.7 million of stock-based compensation expense at the moment its IPO took effect in March 2024, tied to restricted stock units carrying a performance condition that the listing satisfied. That one-off sits inside the 2024 comparison and does not reflect grant policy.
Reddit lowered its full-year 2026 guidance for stock-based compensation to the low-to-mid teens as a percentage of revenue, down from high teens.
Reddit Employee Statistics On Hiring
Revelio counted 256 active Reddit job postings in 2026 as of March. New postings ran at 101 per month in the first quarter of 2026, against 103 per month across 2025 and 144 per month in 2024.
| Period | New job postings per month |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 144 |
| 2025 | 103 |
| 2026 (through March) | 101 |

CEO Steve Huffman said on the Sourcery with Molly O’Shea podcast in March 2026 that Reddit would go heavy on new grads because they are more AI native, comments reported by Fortune on March 23, 2026. He said AI would not shrink the company’s engineering headcount.
Reddit guided to Q3 2026 revenue of $860 million to $870 million and adjusted EBITDA of $385 million to $395 million. Hiring plans beyond the roughly 100 net additions in Q2 have not been quantified in the filings.
