Developer salary calculator

Pick a role and a place (and optionally a level). The calculator shows the median and the middle half of the salary ranges employers advertise in live job postings for that search. Type your own salary to see what share of those postings advertise less. It draws on 44,000+ live postings with a verified salary, across 305 role and place combinations, updated daily.

From the salary ranges employers publish in their own job postings, collected daily from public career pages, ATS feeds and job boards. Only ranges we could verify count, converted to a yearly figure in the posting's currency. No self-reported surveys and no estimates; a posting counts only while it is open.

It depends on the place more than anything. Right now the median advertised Software Engineer salary in United States is $175,000 a year, with the middle half of postings between $110,000 and $253,000. Above the median means you earn more than half of what employers advertise for the same search.

Not necessarily. Remote Software Engineer postings advertise a median of $165,000 a year (7077 verified salaries); compare it with the same role in your country in the calculator above.

If your yearly salary is below the median the calculator shows for your role, place and level, more than half of the employers hiring for that role right now advertise more than you earn. The button under the result lists those jobs, highest pay first.

It is free and needs no signup. The job list behind the button is free as well; an account is only needed to load more than the first page of results.
