Your offer snaps onto the band at its true percentile, so you can see the gap to the median and the room above it at a glance.

How it works

From offer to counter in three steps

No spreadsheets and no guesswork, just where you stand and what to say next.

  1. 01

    Enter your offer

    Pick your role, level and region, then add base pay plus any bonus, equity or signing bonus.

  2. 02

    Read your band

    See your percentile on the market band, the gap to the median, and how much room sits above you.

  3. 03

    Get your counter

    We suggest a counter range and hand you talking points you can copy straight into your reply.

Why it helps

Walk into the conversation prepared

Everything you need to answer "is this a good offer?" with a number, not a feeling.

Real market bands

Ranges by role, level and region, not a single national average that hides the spread.

See the room above you

Your offer's percentile and the distance to the upper quartile, so you know how far you can push.

A counter you can send

A suggested counter range plus talking points, written so you can paste them into your reply.

Total comp, not just base

Fold in bonus, equity and signing so you're comparing the whole package, not one line.

FAQ

Questions before you start

Is the salary calculator free?+
Yes. Browsing the market bands and running the calculator is free. You sign in only to open the calculator, which saves you from re-entering everything and keeps the tool free.
Where does the salary data come from?+
The bands are built from aggregated market ranges by role, level and region. They are a guide for framing your negotiation, not a live feed of any single employer's pay.
Is my offer information private?+
Yes. The calculation runs in your browser, and we don't store the salary numbers you type in.
What does the percentile mean?+
It is where your offer sits within the market band for your role, level and region. 50 is the median, and above 75 is the upper quartile.
How is the suggested counter calculated?+
It anchors to the next band up from your current offer, typically the median to P75 range, which is a defensible ask you can support with the talking points provided.
Does it cover total compensation?+
Yes. Add bonus, equity and signing bonus and the calculator breaks down your total package alongside the base comparison.
