When at least 30 listings state pay, the results summary shows the median and middle range, and how many listings it is based on.
When at least 30 listings in a result set state pay, the results summary on the right shows the median, the middle half of the range, and how the figures fall across pay bands.
- It tells you the coverage: how many listings stated pay, and what share of the results did not. That is the honest context for everything else in it.
- One currency at a time. The most common currency in your results is used and the others are left out, rather than mixed into a meaningless median.
- Pay is shown as the employer quoted it. Annualising happens only inside this panel, to make the distribution comparable.
- Fewer than 30 figures and it prints no median. It says there are too few to summarise rather than drawing a shape from a handful of points.
Open a job with stated pay and you also get its position against the rest of the current results, as a percentage above or below the median and a marker on a quartile scale.
Where it stops
"Above market" here means above the other results on your screen, not a national benchmark. Narrow the search and the comparison changes with it, so it is a reading of your result set rather than of the job market.
