View role →What this number is (and is not)
Sites like Levels.fyi quote total compensation (base + stock + bonus). This calculator estimates base salary only from role, seniority, city and skill premiums. Use it to set a floor and a target before you talk numbers — not as an offer.
| Percentile | How to use it |
|---|---|
| P25 | Walk-away / minimum ask. Below this is under market for the profile you picked. |
| P50 | Typical base. Fine for a first recap; not a stretch ask. |
| P75 | Negotiation target if you have matching skills or a competing offer. |
| P90 | Top-of-market base. Rare without scarce skills or a hot metro. |
- Pick the closest role and seniority — then add only skills you can defend in interview.
- Set location to the job city (or Remote). High-cost metros lift the band.
- Anchor the conversation at P75; accept no lower than P25 without a clear trade (equity, title, remote).
- Ask the recruiter to split base vs bonus vs equity. This tool does not estimate stock.
FAQs
- Is this US salary calculator free?
- Yes. No account. Pick a role, seniority, city and skills to see P25–P90 pay bands.
- What do P25, P50, P75 and P90 mean?
- They are pay percentiles. P50 is the market median. P75 is a typical negotiation target. P90 is top-of-market for that role and city.
- Does location change the estimate?
- Yes. High-cost metros (SF, NYC, Seattle) lift the band. Lower-cost cities pull it down.
- Is this official BLS data?
- No. It is a Bodhixt estimate from role, seniority, city and skill premiums — use it to set a range before you negotiate, not as a job offer.
