FAQ
Where does the data come from?
Salary Coach uses U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS percentile wage data (state and metro/MSA) as the baseline.
Is this crowdsourced salary data?
No. The ranges come from published BLS data, not user-submitted salary reports.
Can I use this for reasonable compensation files?
Yes. Many users include the memo in reasonable compensation documentation. It supports your file with cited sources and assumptions, but does not replace CPA or legal judgment.
Can I use this for HR approvals and offers?
Yes. Teams use it to support offer ranges, approvals, and internal compensation documentation with a consistent method.
Can I use this for support/alimony documentation?
Yes. The memo can support earning-capacity and support documentation. It is an analytical tool, not legal advice.
What geography is supported?
You can run estimates at the state level or metro area (MSA) level, with statewide fallback when metro data is unavailable.
