The small print, in plain English
Snapshot: Sep 11, 2026
The approximate source corpus includes historical listings. This explorer uses unexpired, non-agency postings with a tech-role classification and no elapsed application deadline and a primary listed US or European country. Europe includes the UK and Switzerland. No posting-date cutoff.
Annual advertised salary-range midpoints in the selected original currency. Only explicitly yearly records with both bounds ordered and between 10,000 and 1,000,000 contribute. Percentiles use linear interpolation.
We publish salary comparisons from 5 valid ranges. Small samples can still move a lot. Always check the count alongside the number.
