How these numbers are made

  • Posted pay only. Each figure comes from the annual pay range an employer published on a role. Estimates are never used.
  • Sources: roles live on MCAJobBoard.com today, plus roles posted since Aug 2026 that have since closed, using the pay range the role last posted or a figure an editor checked.
  • Roles posted in the last 12 months in the United States. Internships and roles whose pay is quoted as on-target earnings or total compensation are left out, so the figures are base pay.
  • Each role counts once, at the midpoint of its pay range. The 25th percentile is the pay a quarter of those midpoints fall below, the median is the middle, and the 75th percentile is the pay three quarters fall below.
  • A figure is shown only when at least 8 roles from at least 3 employers sit behind it. Below that the page shows no figure.
