Methodology

Figures are computed from base-salary ranges that employers disclose directly on live job postings tracked by ForgeApply (as of 2026-08-28). For each posting we take the midpoint of the disclosed range, then report the median and the 25th–75th percentile band across all matching postings. Postings without disclosed pay are excluded, which can skew results toward companies and states with pay transparency requirements. This is marketplace data about current openings, not an estimate of total compensation or of any individual offer.
