Capabilities

Tools 5

check_pay

Where a job offer's pay, or a posted pay range, sits on the official pay distribution for the same job and place: the percentile span, the median, US take-home pay at the midpoint after federal and state tax, and for US metro areas which Department of Labor wage level (entry to fully competent) the pay meets. Same places as get_pay.

Discovered
compare_offers

Two US job offers, each a pay figure in a state or one of the 50 largest metro areas, compared after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax, then after local prices (BEA regional price parities, rent included). Returns take-home pay, take-home at national prices, which offer is worth more and by how much, and the salary each place would need to match the other. With a job, also where each offer sits on the official pay distribution. City and county income taxes are not included.

Discovered
find_jobs

Current job openings in the US and Canada from employers' own job boards and US federal announcements from USAJOBS (read through their documented APIs, refreshed weekly), matching keywords and a place. Each result: title and employer as posted, places, posting date, the pay range when the employer published one, and when it did not, the official BLS median for the occupation in the US state named (national for US remote jobs); for published US ranges, where the range sits on the official distribution; and the link to apply on the employer's own site. Results are newest first or by published pay. Coverage is strongest for technology, finance, startups and remote work; many hospitals, retailers and state and local governments are not included yet, so few or no results does not mean no such jobs exist. No job descriptions; FedSalary takes no applications.

Discovered
get_pay

Official pay statistics for one job in one place: median, 10th to 90th percentiles, employment, the publisher and reference period, take-home pay where the site shows it, and for US states and metro areas the U.S. Department of Labor's four wage levels (entry to fully competent). Covers the US (national, every state, the 50 largest metro areas), Canada (national, provinces) and the UK (national; regions are a table on the national answer). Returns the page's Markdown copy with a citation line.

Discovered
take_home

Take-home pay on a US salary or hourly wage in a state or one of the 50 largest metro areas: federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, the state's income tax and the state's employee payroll contributions where it has them (disability insurance, paid family leave, long-term care, employee unemployment insurance), using the state's newest published rules with the federal rules of the same year. Single filer, no dependents, standard deduction, wage income only; city and county income taxes are not included. Returns the yearly, monthly and per-paycheck amounts with each tax line and a link to the state's calculator page.
