How we calculate it
- Only open jobs that state the salary are included. We don't estimate values.
- When a job gives a range, we use the midpoint. Hourly, daily or yearly pay is converted to monthly (220 hours or 22 days per month).
- Duplicate jobs count once, and implausible values are left out (2 on this page).
- Apprentice and internship jobs follow their own pay rules: they only show up in the table by level.
- Median and ranges are exact percentiles of the most recent jobs, recalculated every 6 hours.
