How To Use This Visualizer

Enter the market's 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile pay for the role, and the actual offer you're considering.

The chart plots the market band and shows exactly where your number lands, above, inside, or below what the market is actually paying for this role.

Your Inputs

Market 25th Percentile $65,000

Market 50th Percentile (Median) $78,000

Market 75th Percentile $92,000

Your Actual Offer $80,000

Market percentile data should come from a recognized compensation survey specific to your industry, region, and role level, not a general estimate. Compensation benchmarks vary considerably by these factors.

Market Band vs. Your Offer

This uses linear interpolation between provided percentiles as an estimate, actual market distributions are rarely perfectly linear. Use this for directional positioning, not a precise percentile calculation.
