The calculator uses aggregated data from BLS OES and H-1B LCA (Department of Labor). Estimates are adjusted for cost of living via BEA Regional Price Parities and experience level. Individual salaries vary by employer, equity, and negotiation.
Orbyt aggregates salary data from BLS Occupational Employment Statistics and H-1B Labor Condition Applications (DOL). Data is updated annual and cost-of-living adjusted using BEA Regional Price Parities.
The calculator shows base salary ranges only. Total compensation including equity, bonuses, and signing packages can add 20 to 80 percent on top of base salary, especially at AI labs and Big Tech companies. Check individual role pages for total comp breakdowns.
Each level is a fixed multiplier applied to the estimated median, not a percentile of a measured distribution. Entry (0 to 2 years) runs 0.65x to 0.80x the median, mid (3 to 5 years) 0.85x to 1.05x, senior (6 to 9 years) 1.10x to 1.30x, and lead (10+ years) 1.25x to 1.55x.
