How We Calculate Remote Salaries

Our salary ranges are built from data extracted from 1,400+ active remote job listings across companies like Stripe, Shopify, GitLab, Figma, Cloudflare, and Vercel. We factor in role, seniority, company stage, and geographic region to give you the most accurate benchmark possible.

Why Remote Salaries Vary by Location

Many remote companies use location-based pay policies, adjusting salaries based on cost of living in your city or country. However, a growing number of companies — including GitLab, Buffer, and Basecamp — offer location-agnostic pay: the same rate regardless of where you live.

What to Negotiate Beyond Base Salary

Remote roles often come with additional compensation that isn't reflected in base salary: signing bonuses (typically $5k–$25k at funded companies), annual home office stipends ($500–$2,500), internet reimbursements, and co-working allowances. Always negotiate the full package, not just the base.
