About this data
- How are these AI salary figures calculated?
- Each figure is the median of disclosed salaries on currently active AI job listings, annualized (hourly, weekly, and monthly pay is scaled to a yearly figure) and shown in a single currency - pay is never averaged across currencies.
- Why is a role or country missing?
- Any cut with fewer than 8 disclosed salaries is hidden, so a thin sample never quotes a misleading median. As more roles post their pay, more cuts appear.
- Can I see AI salaries by city?
- Yes - the Location filter narrows every figure to a single city, and the salaries-by-location list links a page per city (and per role within a city) wherever there are enough disclosed salaries to quote an honest median.
- How current is the data?
- It reflects live listings and updates continuously as new roles are posted and old ones close. Every figure shows the number of listings it is based on.
