Salary.com 100 Methodology

All jobs that appear in the Salary.com 100 were scoped using Salary.com's consumer reference tool, The Salary Wizard. This Basic Salary Report is based on broad national data, reported exclusively by the Human Resource departments of tens of thousands of employers from all sizes, industries and locations.

All salaries are based on total cash compensation, which includes base pay and bonuses. Salaries are based on a typical 40-hour workweek (2,080 hours per year).

Although these numbers are based on national data, the results are most similar to the data from companies with approximately 1,000 employees. If a company is bigger, smaller, or in a unique industry, market values will differ.
