How does this comparison work?

Frequently Asked Questions

How does US salary compare to Europe?

US gross salaries, especially in tech and finance, are generally higher than European counterparts. A software engineer in the US earns a median of ~$8,300/month gross vs. ~$5,600/month in Germany and ~$5,200/month in the UK. However, European workers typically receive universal healthcare, 4–6 weeks vacation, and strong worker protections — making total compensation more comparable when benefits are included.

What does "underpaid" mean in this tool?

We classify you as underpaid if your salary is more than 20% below the US market median for your role and experience level. Fair means within ±20% of market rate. Above market means you're earning 20%+ over median — congrats!

Should I negotiate my salary?

Studies consistently show that workers who negotiate their salary offers earn significantly more over their careers. If you're underpaid, use this data as a starting point for your negotiation conversation with your employer or in your next job search.
