How salary analyzer works

Benchmark compensation ranges and prepare for salary conversations.

The salary analyser gives you data-informed compensation benchmarks based on role, location, seniority, and industry. Use it to set realistic expectations before applying and to prepare for offer and negotiation conversations.

Running a salary analysis

  • Go to the Salary Analyser from your dashboard.
  • Enter the job title or role type you want to research.
  • Select the location (country and city if applicable).
  • Choose the seniority level that matches your background.
  • Review the resulting range: low, median, and high compensation for that profile.

Understanding the results

The range shown reflects reported compensation data for similar roles. The low end typically represents entry-level within that tier; the high end reflects candidates with strong seniority, in-demand skills, or at companies that pay above market.

Using the data in negotiations

  • Before any interview that might include compensation discussion, run a search and write down your target range.
  • Aim for at least the median, adjusted for your specific experience level.
  • When asked for your expected salary, give a range rather than a single number — put your target at the lower end of the range.
  • Account for the full package: base salary, bonus structure, equity, and benefits all affect the total value.

Important limitations

Salary data is based on reported figures and may not reflect every market. Small cities, niche industries, and very senior roles often have less reliable data. Use the analyser as a starting point for research, not as a definitive number to quote in every situation.

If an offer comes in below your researched range, it is acceptable to ask whether the number is flexible. Most employers expect candidates to negotiate once.
