Can I use a SpotSalary figure in a negotiation?

Yes, as a market reference. Use the range and confidence, not a single point, and verify against your own offer and local evidence.

Why do different sites show different salary numbers?

They use different samples, dates, definitions and geographies. A median from one source and an average from another are not directly comparable. SpotSalary shows its method and sources so you can judge the difference.

Disclaimer — SpotSalary estimates

Estimates, not facts

Salary bands, take-home figures, forecasts and market-worth results are modelled. They combine external signals, public observations and AI synthesis, and they carry uncertainty. A figure for a role in a city is a guide to the market, not a statement about any specific employer or person.

No professional advice

Nothing on SpotSalary is financial, investment, legal, tax, immigration or career advice. Tax estimates exclude social contributions, local levies and personal circumstances. For decisions with legal or financial consequences, consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.

Forecasts are scenarios

Forecasts show base, optimistic and conservative scenarios. They are not predictions and do not model every shock, policy change or structural shift. Real growth can be negative even when nominal pay rises.

AI limitations

AI can produce plausible but incorrect text or numbers. Validation reduces the risk but does not eliminate it. If a figure matters, check the cited sources and your own offer. Report suspected errors through the contact page.

Third-party data and links

We rely on third-party datasets and may link to external sources. We do not control those sources and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability or practices.

No liability for reliance

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SpotSalary is not liable for decisions or losses based on the estimates. See the terms of service for the full disclaimers and limitation of liability.
