Salary Benchmarking Tool

Pull the full wage distribution for any of 770+ occupations, nationally or in any of 393 metro areas: entry level at the 10th percentile through top earners at the 90th.

Pay bands built on a single median are guesswork at the edges. The percentile spread tells you where entry, midpoint and senior actually sit for a given role and market, which is what a defensible band needs. Every figure comes from employers reporting what they pay, not from workers reporting what they think they earn.

Common questions

What is the best free salary benchmarking tool?

For U.S. roles, benchmarking against BLS OEWS gives you employer-reported wages across 1.1 million establishments rather than self-reported figures. CompSignal presents that data as P10 to P90 percentiles by role and metro area, free and without an account.

What are wage percentiles and why do they matter?

A percentile shows the wage below which that share of workers falls. The 10th percentile approximates entry level and the 90th approximates top earners. Building a pay band on the spread rather than the median alone is what makes the band defensible.

How current is the salary data?

The wage figures come from the BLS OEWS May 2025 release, published 15 May 2026. It is an annual survey, so the next vintage arrives in May 2027.
