Frequently Asked Questions
What is a salary range spread?
The spread is the percentage difference between the minimum and maximum of a salary range. A 40% spread means if the midpoint is $100,000, the range is $80,000-$120,000.
Does this tool tell me the market salary for a role?
No. It calculates a range from the midpoint and spread you enter. Compare your inputs with current, role-specific compensation data before using the range.
Do pay transparency rules apply to my job posting?
Requirements vary by employer, work location, posting, and change over time. Check current state and local agency guidance for every location where the role may work.
