Laurie Metcalf has an estimated net worth of $14 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Laurie Metcalf net worth page (figures as of April 27, 2026).

Laurie Metcalf is an American actress and comedian who was born on June 16, 1955. A Steppenwolf Theatre Company veteran, she has won four Primetime Emmy Awards and three Tony Awards across more than four decades, with additional nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA and Golden Globes. She made her Broadway debut in My Thing of Love in 1995.

She is widely known for Jackie Harris on Roseanne and The Conners, and for Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon. Film work includes supporting turns that brought Oscar attention, and she continues to return to Broadway in plays such as A Doll's House, Part 2 and Three Tall Women.

How Laurie Metcalf makes her money

Long-running television salaries from Roseanne, The Conners and Young Sheldon form the largest recurring stream.

Broadway leading roles with Tony wins and nominations add major stage paydays and raise her prestige quote.

Film supporting parts contribute feature fees and awards-season visibility.

Voice and guest work fill gaps while she moves between Chicago roots, New York theatre and Hollywood television. Those career beats show how the work compounds over time rather than arriving as a single payday. Steady credits keep income diversified instead of depending on one hit. Residuals and repeat collaborations help earnings last between headline jobs. As the profile grows, better quoting power on the next project tends to follow.
