Not advice

Guides, charts, tax take-home figures, cost-of-living sketches, inflation adjustments, visa notes, and comparison tools are for general information and education. They are not financial, legal, tax, immigration, or career advice. Decisions about jobs, moves, contracts, and filings belong to you and, where needed, a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.

Estimates and models

Salary percentiles come from public aggregations at build time. Some city figures are observed metro data; others are modeled from a national median and a local pay index and are labelled as such. Tax, rent, and COL helpers are simplified models. They will not match a specific payslip, lease, or tax return.

Sources, refresh cadence, and the observed-versus-modeled distinction are explained in About & methodology and How we source salary data.

No guarantee of pay

Employer bands, overtime, equity, bonuses, and individual negotiation can sit well outside a published range. Use the figures as context for a conversation, not as a ceiling or a floor that anyone must meet.
