"Am I Paid Fairly?" Salary Comparator

Each occupation's median comes from the relevant official government wage survey for your market — the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US, the Office for National Statistics in the UK, or the Australian Bureau of Statistics in Australia — not an estimate.

These are broad occupation categories used in official wage statistics, not every specific job title. Pick the closest match — seniority, location, and company size all shift real pay within a category, which official median figures average out.

No — this uses the nationwide median for your country. Pay for the same occupation can vary significantly by city or region (e.g. a software developer in San Francisco vs. a smaller US city), which a national figure doesn't capture.

Not necessarily. Experience level, industry, benefits, and cost of living all affect what a fair salary looks like for your specific situation — a national median is a reference point, not a verdict.
