Salary Sensei helps you understand your market value by estimating salary ranges based on your role, experience level, and location. Use it before a job interview, a raise conversation, or a career change.
Type your job title and select your experience level. The more specific your title (e.g. 'Senior Frontend Engineer' vs 'Developer'), the more accurate the estimate.
Salary ranges vary dramatically by city and country. Select your location to adjust the estimate for local market conditions and cost of living.
The tool shows a low, mid, and high range for your role. The midpoint reflects typical compensation; the high end reflects senior candidates at top-paying companies.
Total compensation often includes base salary, annual bonus, and equity (for tech roles). Salary Sensei breaks down the components so you can negotiate each one separately.
Knowing your market rate gives you a specific, defensible number to anchor salary negotiations. 'The market rate for this role in this city is X' is a much stronger position than 'I'd like more money.'
Estimates are based on aggregated data from public sources including Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, LinkedIn Salary, and Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys. Data is updated periodically.
Salaries vary within any role based on company size, industry, specific skills, negotiation, and individual performance. The range reflects this natural variation.
In many US states it's illegal for employers to ask your current salary. Best practice is to anchor to market rate ('I'm targeting X, which is in line with market rate for this role') rather than disclosing what you currently earn.
These are ballpark estimates based on aggregated public data. For the most accurate figures, supplement with recent data from Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, or industry-specific salary surveys.
