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.
