Why Salary Fairness Matters
Being underpaid isn't just frustrating—it compounds over time. Every raise, bonus, and future job offer is often based on your current salary. The earlier you close the gap, the more you earn over your entire career.
Yet most people have no idea where they stand. Salary data is scattered, confusing, and often hidden behind paywalls. We're building a tool that gives you clarity—for free.

Methodology & Transparency
We believe you deserve to know how your analysis is generated.
Our data sources: We aggregate salary information from government labor statistics (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Eurostat), job posting data, salary surveys, and anonymized user submissions. We cross-reference multiple sources to improve accuracy.
Confidence levels: Data availability varies by role and location. We clearly indicate when we have robust data (thousands of data points) versus limited data (where estimates are less certain).
What we don't do: We don't make up numbers, inflate data, or show fake results. If we don't have enough data for a reliable comparison, we'll tell you.
Important: All figures are estimates based on available data and should be used as directional guidance, not absolute truth. Your actual market value depends on many factors unique to your situation.
Disclaimer: Our analysis provides informational estimates only. It is not financial, legal, or tax advice. Salary decisions are personal and should consider your unique circumstances. See our full disclaimer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about salary comparison and our tool.
Your salary is "good" if it fairly compensates you relative to your role, experience, location, and the current job market. Our tool compares your salary against market data for similar positions in your area, accounting for cost of living and industry standards.
Salary fairness depends on multiple factors: your job title, years of experience, company size, location, and industry. We analyze these factors to show you where your salary falls within the market range—whether you're below, at, or above the median.
Gross salary is your total pay before deductions (taxes, social security, pension contributions). Net salary is what you actually receive in your bank account after all deductions. Our analysis uses gross salary for comparison, but we explain how net pay varies by country.
A $100,000 salary in San Francisco has very different purchasing power than the same salary in Austin or Berlin. We factor in cost of living indices to show you what your salary is actually worth in terms of housing, food, transportation, and lifestyle.
If our analysis shows you're below market rate, negotiating is worth considering. Even if you're at market rate, there may be room to negotiate based on your unique skills or performance. We provide talking points and scripts to help you approach the conversation confidently.
We aggregate data from multiple sources including government labor statistics, job boards, salary surveys, and anonymized user submissions. We're transparent about our methodology and clearly indicate confidence levels based on data availability for your specific role and location.
