How these numbers are made
- Source: the yearly salary ranges employers publish in their own job postings, for roles RoleWeek lists as posted in the last 7 days. They are what employers advertise, not offers, not what people are paid, and not a market average. RoleWeek lists a share of all developer roles, and an employer decides whether to post a range at all.
- One role is one card: an opening listed for several places counts once on a page. A role listed in several cities counts on each city’s page.
- Bottom and top of each posted range are summarised separately: the median, and the 25th and 75th percentiles (half of the roles fall between them). A role that posts a single figure counts as both its bottom and its top.
- Yearly ranges only, in one currency per page: CA$ for the Canadian cities, $ for US cities and remote roles. Pay by the hour, day, week or month is never converted or mixed in.
- A page exists only when 15 or more roles list a yearly range; a level gets a row at 10. The numbers are rebuilt every day from the roles posted in the last 7 days.
