Frequently asked questions

Why show the median instead of the average?

The median (106 321 $) is the middle of the market: half of the offers pay more and half pay less. Unlike the average (103 753 $), it is not skewed by a handful of very high salaries.

What does the typical range mean?

From 19 875 $ to 113 327 $ is the middle half of all offers — the 25th to 75th percentile. A quarter of vacancies pay below 19 875 $ and a quarter above 113 327 $.

Where does the data come from?

From 10 open vacancies with a stated salary that Finder collects from public sources. Numbers are recalculated as the selection changes.

How do I tell whether I am paid fairly?

Compare your pay with the median and the quartiles: near 106 321 $ is the market level, above 113 327 $ is the strong quarter, below 19 875 $ is a reason to negotiate. Use the “Compare my salary” button on this page.

How we calculate salaries

Short methodology and the data behind these numbers.

  1. 1We collect offersOnly vacancies from open sources where the employer states pay are used.
  2. 2We normalise themA salary range is reduced to one comparable value per vacancy.
  3. 3We compute percentilesMedian, quartiles and the average are calculated from at least 5 offers; otherwise the wider country market is shown.
  4. 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.
