How do you benchmark a salary?
Compare three sources for the same title and city: marketplace salary percentiles, pay ranges posted on current job listings, and government wage statistics adjusted for inflation. This tool combines them into a low, mid and high range with the evidence behind each.
Fill in the prompt
Edit the details in brackets with one job title and one US city, then pick the AI assistant to run it in.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do the numbers come from?
- Three places: salary percentiles from a job marketplace, pay ranges posted on the last 30 days of listings, and government occupational wage statistics. The government figures lag about a year, so the tool ages them with inflation data.
- Does it work outside the US?
- No. It needs a US city, because the wage statistics and job listings it reads cover the US only.
- Is this tool free?
- Yes. The prompt, the steps and the instructions are free to use. When your assistant runs the tool through Firecrawl Alexandria, each data call bills its listed price in credits, and every data source shows that price before it's called.
- Which AI assistants can run it?
- Any assistant connected to Firecrawl with an API key, including ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Pick one in the prompt box and your request opens there with a link to this tool.
- Do I need to sign up?
- You need a Firecrawl account, with your assistant connected through its API key. Firecrawl Alexandria doesn't run in keyless mode. If your assistant isn't connected yet, the prompt tells it how to set that up. Some data providers ask an admin on your Firecrawl team to accept their terms before the first call.
