Hey PH - Salary Map founder here.

Quick behind-the-scenes on why we built this:

Most salary sites either bury data behind a signup wall or aggregate self-reported numbers that are all over the place. We went straight to the BLS — the same data the government uses — and made it free, fast, and actually usable.

⁠A few things we're proud of:

• ⁠7,700+ company salaries from DOL H-1B filings (what employers actually pay)

• ⁠Federal employee pay by agency (1.7M+ workers)

• ⁠Take-home pay calculator with real 2025 tax brackets

• ⁠Salary negotiation tool with a copy-paste counter-offer email

⁠Happy to answer any questions about the data, methodology, or what we're building next. And if there's a career or city we're missing — drop it below, we'll add it.
