About Am I Paid Fairly?

Am I Paid Fairly? is a global salary comparison platform. Enter your job title, country, and annual salary, and we instantly show you where you stand compared to professionals doing the same work around the world. You can see your global percentile ranking, explore an interactive world salary map, and compare what your job pays in 42 countries — all without creating an account or paying a fee.

We estimate global salaries using a transparent, multi-step methodology:

1. BLS Baseline — Start with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics median salary for each of 830+ occupations.
2. OECD Country Ratio — Adjust the baseline using each OECD country's average wage relative to the U.S. average wage, reflecting national wage levels.
3. Sector Multiplier — Apply sector-specific adjustments to account for how different industries pay differently across countries.
4. PPP Adjustment — Convert to purchasing power parity using World Bank PPP factors so you can compare real buying power.
5. Big Mac Index — Show how many Big Macs your annual salary can buy, providing an intuitive cost-of-living comparison.
