Methodology & sources

Every range on this page is triangulated from multiple public datasets. We publish the exact sources used so you can verify each number yourself. Data was last refreshed on ; the next scheduled refresh is 2026-07-15.

  1. Baseline bands (US, base salary only) — anchored on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) 10th/50th/90th percentile wages for the closest matching occupation code, then reconciled against public medians on Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, and Payscale. We take medians only, not user-submitted outliers.
  2. Country and city multipliers — derived from OECD average-wage tables (PPP-adjusted), Numbeo cost-of-living indices, and public tech-salary reports for each metro. Multipliers are recomputed each refresh cycle, not baked in.
  3. Experience, job type, workplace factors — calibrated on the Stack Overflow Developer Survey compensation section and Connecting Odds' own aggregate of employer-published pay bands in open job postings on the platform.
  4. What we do NOT do — we do not scrape paywalled sources, resell proprietary datasets, or infer any salary from personally identifiable information. Ranges are illustrative benchmarks, not offers.
