Career Salary Estimator — US pay data for 900+ careers
Pick a career and see the median pay and pay range published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Where a figure isn't published, we say so rather than estimate it. A free account is needed.

- US pay data only — median annual pay from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics), published through O*NET, for 900+ occupations. Percentile ranges (bottom 10% to top 10%) are shown where BLS publishes them.
- India — the Government of India's Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS, MoSPI) publishes average monthly earnings of salaried employees for each occupation group, urban and rural. Where a career fits one group, we show that group average next to the US figures, labelled as a group figure. There are no official India figures for single careers, experience levels or cities.
- US pay stays in US dollars — we don't convert US pay into rupees or pounds: an exchange-rate conversion of US pay is not what a job pays in India or the UK.
Figures are shown exactly as published and are not adjusted for your education or experience. Where BLS doesn't publish a figure for a career, it shows as not available. Treat it as a guide, not an offer.
Beyond just the number
Salary in isolation is a bad career signal. Each career page also shows:
- Growth outlook — BLS 10-year projection: is the field growing or shrinking?
- AI exposure — how much of this job is likely to be affected by AI in the next 5-10 years?
- Employment volume — how many people hold this role in the US?
- Typical education — the entry-level education the role usually asks for.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have India or UK salary data?
For India, yes, at occupation-group level: the average monthly earnings of salaried employees in the career's occupation group, from the Government of India's Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS 2025). It is a group average, not a figure for one career. We don't hold UK salary data. US pay figures are shown in US dollars and are never converted into local pay.
Do I need an account?
Yes — a free account is needed to run salary estimates. Career pages with the US median pay are public.
How often is the data updated?
When BLS publishes its annual wage release and we re-import O*NET.
