How we calculate this

These figures come only from job postings that state a salary. We count full-time roles on a yearly basis, so we are comparing like with like: contract, internship, and per-month rates still show on the board, but they are left out of these averages. Every salary stays in one currency. The global view is USD postings only, and each country view uses that country's own postings in its own currency, never converted. Every number shows how many postings it is based on.
