The salary figures on this page are computed estimates, not observed wages. Each one is a national role baseline scaled by a Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parity cost-of-living multiplier (2025 index) and rounded to the nearest $1,000. No published wage percentile is consulted and no wage survey response enters the calculation, so an Orbyt estimate must not be cited as a Bureau of Labor Statistics figure or as measured pay. The published wage data Orbyt holds is Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, and Department of Labor H-1B Labor Condition Application filings, which record a filed minimum visa base wage rather than market pay. Where BLS publishes a wage for the occupation a role maps to, it is shown on that role's page as a separate benchmark, labelled with its occupation code, metro area and the number of employed workers it covers.

Salary data questions, answered.
What is the average salary for AI engineers in 2026?
Orbyt's estimated national base salary for an AI engineer is $133,000, with city figures adjusted from that baseline using BEA Regional Price Parities. This is a computed estimate, not a measured wage, and must not be cited as a Bureau of Labor Statistics figure. The published BLS wage for the occupation this role maps to is shown on the role's own page, labelled with its occupation code and metro area. Pay in practice varies by experience level, company size, and equity component.
How many roles and cities does Orbyt cover?
Orbyt covers 3,445 roles across 81 U.S. cities. The salary figures are computed estimates: a national role baseline cost-of-living adjusted using BEA Regional Price Parities. The published wage data Orbyt holds is BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, and Department of Labor H-1B Labor Condition Application filings (a filed minimum visa base wage, not market pay). Updated annually.
Are Orbyt salary numbers measured or estimated?
They are estimates. Each figure is computed from a national role baseline scaled by a BEA Regional Price Parity multiplier, so no wage survey response enters the calculation and an Orbyt estimate must not be cited as a BLS figure. Every role does map to a BLS occupation code, and where BLS publishes a wage for that occupation it is shown alongside the estimate as a separate, citable benchmark. Methodology is published at orbytjobs.ai/orbyt-intelligence/methodology.
Is Salary Explorer free?
Yes. Salary Explorer is completely free. No account or credit card required. The same dataset powers the Orbyt Intelligence API for teams that need programmatic access.
How often is salary data updated?
Salary data is refreshed annually, following the BLS OES release and new H-1B LCA disclosures. Quarterly snapshots of the computed estimate are available from Q2 2026. Each role page shows the last data refresh date.

What SOC code does my job title map to?

Where can I find reliable salary data for tech roles?
The strongest public source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, which publishes wages per occupation and metro area. Self-report sites like Levels.fyi and Glassdoor are title-specific but rely on user-submitted figures. Orbyt's Salary Explorer shows the published BLS cell for every role that maps to an occupation, beside a clearly labelled Orbyt estimate, and publishes its full title-to-SOC crosswalk as a free CC BY 4.0 download.
How much does an AI engineer make in San Francisco?

Key Fact
3,445
job titles mapped to a federal occupation code
Every one of Orbyt's 3,445 job titles resolves to a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Standard Occupational Classification code, and a published BLS wage is available for all 279,045 title-and-city combinations it covers, at metro level where BLS publishes one and nationally otherwise. The salary figures Orbyt displays are computed estimates and must not be cited as BLS figures; the published BLS wage shown beside each one is the federal figure and should be cited as BLS. Because BLS publishes per occupation rather than per job title, titles sharing a code share one published wage.
