This benchmark is only as good as the data behind it. Your report is completely anonymous: no name, no email, no account, no employer. We keep the numbers and nothing else. Figures are only ever shown in aggregate, and never for a group smaller than 5 people — so nobody's pay can be picked out.
We'll use the role, state, sector, experience and credential you picked above, plus your base salary. Just add a little more:

BLS official is the real reported wage distribution for the occupation covering your role, in your state where it's published — source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 (public domain). BLS reports ~830 broad occupations, so one figure can cover several of our roles. Adjusted for you starts from that BLS median and applies our own factors for firm size, sector, experience, credential and technology skill (reviewed July 2026) — directional guidance, not an offer sheet. Peers report is self-reported by visitors, shown only in aggregate at 5+ responses and trimmed of outliers.
