How these numbers are made
Pay is the midpoint of the posted range (or the single posted figure). This page counts full-time postings that state pay in US dollars per year. Other currencies are left out, not converted. Most of the sample is roles based in the US, or open to applicants there.
No company adds more than three postings to any figure, so one company posting dozens of near-identical roles can't set a median. A group needs at least 50 postings to be shown. Values that can't be real pay (a sales quota read as salary, a monthly figure stored as annual) are dropped.
The data covers active remote and hybrid postings that Remote Jobs Rock collects from companies' own applicant tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and others). Job aggregators, staffing agencies and gig marketplaces are excluded. That makes it a large, direct-from-employer sample. It is not a census of every job, and it leans toward companies that hire through those systems. The figures are recomputed every day, so they can differ from an earlier visit. The CSV shows the date of each figure.
