How we calculate these figures

  1. Live roles only. Every figure comes from a job Software Placement Group is actively recruiting for, not a survey or an estimate.
  2. Published base salaries. We take the midpoint of each posted range. Roles without a published salary are excluded.
  3. Median, not average. We report the median and the 25th to 75th percentile, so a single outlier cannot distort the picture.
  4. Base only. Bonus, commission and equity sit on top. In sales roles, on-target earnings are often close to double the base.

Guides are recalculated every few hours, and any guide whose sample falls too low is withdrawn until enough roles are open again.
