Quick Answer

You should always negotiate your salary. 87% of employers expect negotiation and almost never rescind offers. Ask for 10–15% above the market median for your role and location. Not negotiating your starting salary costs an estimated $300,000–$500,000 over a 30-year career due to compounding annual raises.

This calculator compares your current or offered salary against real market data for 80+ job titles across all 50 US states. It shows whether you are above, at, or below market rate and generates a copy-paste negotiation script based on your specific numbers.
