About SalaryTrack
SalaryTrack is a free salary research tool that provides accurate, government-sourced wage data for hundreds of occupations across the United States.
Our Data Source
All national salary data on SalaryTrack comes directly from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program — the most comprehensive salary database in the United States. The OEWS survey covers approximately 830 occupations across more than 600 metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
The BLS collects this data through a semi-annual survey of approximately 200,000 non-farm business establishments. This is public domain government data, freely available to all Americans. Our current data reflects the May 2025 OEWS release.
Important Data Disclaimer
National salary figures on SalaryTrack are sourced directly and verified against official BLS OEWS data. However, some metropolitan area figures are estimated based on regional BLS wage differentials where exact metro-level data for a specific occupation is not available in our current dataset. These estimates are calculated using verified BLS regional wage multipliers and are clearly approximate.
For the most precise local wage data for a specific occupation and metro area, we recommend consulting the BLS OEWS metropolitan area data directly.
Why We Built This
Salary data should be free and accessible. Too many salary sites hide data behind paywalls, use self-reported surveys that can be skewed, or mix outdated data with current figures. SalaryTrack exists to give everyone access to the same official government data that HR professionals and economists use — for free, with no account required.
What We Cover
We cover salaries for jobs in technology, healthcare, finance, law, education, trades, and more. For each job and city combination we show the median salary, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, bottom 10%, and top 10% — giving you a complete picture of the salary range.
Data Freshness
We update our data annually when the BLS releases new OEWS figures, typically in May of each year. Our current data reflects May 2025 estimates published by BLS. We display the data year prominently on every page so you always know how current the figures are.
