How Jobiba calculates this

Evidence first, estimate second

  • • Uses recent active Jobiba listings that contain employer/source salary data.
  • • Requires an explicit salary currency and pay period before a listing can enter an aggregate.
  • • Applies broad currency-specific plausibility floors/ceilings, then rejects extreme statistical outliers.
  • • Groups title variants through Jobiba's canonical salary-role taxonomy so current estimates and historical trends use the same comparable cohort.
  • • Annualizes hourly, daily, weekly and monthly pay; no foreign-exchange conversion is used.
  • • Uses percentile medians and publishes a range only after the minimum comparable sample is reached.
  • • Labels inferred pay on salary pages/jobs as a Jobiba estimate, never as employer-provided compensation.

Career planning check: if your current level sits well below the market median, compare the job scope first. A title can be the same while team size, ownership and technical depth are very different.
