Frequently asked questions
Why show the median instead of the average?
The median (143 904 $) is the middle of the market: half of the offers pay more and half pay less. Unlike the average (143 560 $), it is not skewed by a handful of very high salaries.
What does the typical range mean?
From 130 000 $ to 161 726 $ is the middle half of all offers — the 25th to 75th percentile. A quarter of vacancies pay below 130 000 $ and a quarter above 161 726 $.
Where does the data come from?
From 44 open vacancies with a stated salary that Finder collects from public sources. Numbers are recalculated as the selection changes.

How we calculate salaries
Short methodology and the data behind these numbers.
- 1We collect offersOnly vacancies from open sources where the employer states pay are used.
- 2We normalise themA salary range is reduced to one comparable value per vacancy.
- 3We compute percentilesMedian, quartiles and the average are calculated from at least 5 offers; otherwise the wider country market is shown.
- 4We refresh the numbersStatistics are recomputed as new vacancies appear and closed ones drop out.
Figures are pay as published by employers: taxes, bonuses and seniority inside a grade are not accounted for.
