Salary Offer Evaluator
Enter an offer, a role and a location, and see exactly where the number sits in the real market range for that job: below market, competitive, or above.
Most offer conversations stall on a single median. This tool places the offer across the full P10 to P90 spread from the BLS employer survey, then adds the hiring-demand signal for that sector, because the same number is generous in a cooling market and thin in a tight one.

Common questions
How do I know if a salary offer is competitive?
Compare it to the wage distribution for that role and location, not just the median. Below the 25th percentile is below market, the 50th to 75th percentile range is competitive, and above the 75th is above market. This tool places any offer on that scale using BLS OEWS May 2025 data.
What salary data does the offer evaluator use?
BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 vintage, covering 1.1 million surveyed establishments across 770+ occupations and 393 metro areas. These are employer-reported wages, not self-reported figures.
Is the offer evaluator free?
Yes. Every CompSignal tool is free and needs no account. Signing in only saves your work, such as a role watchlist or emailed reports.
