Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Certification Salary Estimator?

The Certification Salary Estimator is a tool that provides salary estimates for jobs requiring specific certifications. The data is gathered from job postings across the USA and in USD, helping users understand salary ranges for their certifications.

How are the salary estimates calculated?
Minimum/Low Salary:
An estimated starting salary, most relevant for applicants with minimal industry experience or entry-level qualifications.
Maximum/High Salary:
An estimated salary for senior or highly qualified candidates, more relevant for applicants with extensive experience and advanced skills.
Median Salary:
Based on our 190,533 listings, we find the middle listing's salary data to represent the median. The median is the midpoint salary value where half of the listings have higher salaries, and half have lower salaries.
Industry Average:
This is the average salary across all listings in our database. It provides insight into how salaries for this certification compare to those for other certifications and to job listings in the industry that may not require any certification.
Industry 80th Percentile:
Similar to the Industry Average, but based on the 80th percentile salary (the 80th highest paying salary). This indicates the salary level of some of the higher-paying jobs, showing what top earners in the field can expect.
What data is used to provide these salary estimates?

We analyze job listings daily to ensure the most up-to-date information is available. The salaries are derived from recent listings, and they may change as new data comes in or as the job market shifts.

Can I use the Certification Salary Estimator for regions outside the USA?

At the moment, the tool only provides salary estimates in the USA and in USD. We plan to expand to other regions and currencies in future updates.

How often is the data updated?

The job postings are scraped daily to reflect the most recent information. Salaries can change as new job listings are added, so check back regularly to get updated estimates.

Why might the salary estimates change over time?

Since the data is pulled from current job postings, the salary estimates may fluctuate with market demand, job availability, and economic conditions. The tool provides a snapshot of current trends, which may shift as more postings become available.
