How we calculate this

We read the pay ranges employers publish on their own job postings (US pay-transparency laws require most of them), count each posting once at the middle of its range, and use only yearly US-dollar pay. Equity and bonuses are not included; for sales roles some employers publish on-target earnings (base plus commission) instead of base pay. The data refreshes twice a day from 3,647 AI job postings with pay.
