About this data
- Which AI company pays the most?
- Among AI companies that disclose pay on live listings, the one with the highest median salary tops this leaderboard. Each figure is the median of a company's disclosed salaries, annualized and in a single currency, and every row shows how many listings it is based on.
- Why isn't [big AI company] listed?
- Most AI companies don't disclose salaries on their postings, and any company with fewer than the minimum disclosed listings is left off so a thin sample never quotes a misleading median. This ranks only companies that both disclose pay and have enough listings to be reliable - it is not a complete list of AI employers.
- Where does this data come from?
- Only disclosed pay on live AI job listings indexed by Kairos, annualized and kept to a single currency. It is not a self-reported salary survey and does not include equity or bonuses - just the base pay employers advertise.
