How we work this out
Every number above comes from salaries that employers published in their own job postings in the last 12 months, converted to a yearly figure (hourly pay × 2,080). We use the middle of each posted range. We never include our own pay estimates here. The government benchmark is the BLS survey of what people in this occupation are paid, across all employers.
