How we compute these
Mixed sources: 77 from employer pay fields, 36 read from advert text. Counted separately here so you can see the split.
Base salary only, from live permanent adverts on this board. Bonus, equity, pension and allowances are never counted, and a band contributes its midpoint, one value per advert. Nothing is modelled or carried over from a national survey.
A median appears here only when the sample clears all three bars: at least 5 adverts, from at least 3 different employers, with no single employer holding more than half of them. Where one employer dominates a sample, the median is arithmetically that employer’s median rather than the market’s, so we withhold it and say so.
