Where the pay figures come from

Published occupational wages · May 2025
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS, released May 15, 2026.

These wages cover the occupation across experience levels. They include commissions, production bonuses, tips and certain allowances, and exclude overtime and employer benefit costs. They are not a pure base-pay survey or a prediction of a job offer.

Most published annual wages use 2,080 hours. Your modeled annual cash uses only the schedule and pay you enter. Unavailable or suppressed wages are shown as unavailable.
