Terms of Use

The short version

LocalSalaryHub shows salary data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's a research tool, not a crystal ball. The numbers come from government surveys that may lag behind current market conditions, represent statistical averages (not individual offers), and should never be your only data point when making career or financial decisions. Use it as a starting point, then do your own homework.

What this site does

We take BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey data and make it searchable by city and occupation. You can compare salaries across locations, estimate take-home pay after taxes, and find job listings from external sites. That's the service.

The important disclaimer

Salary figures on this site are statistical estimates drawn from government survey data. They reflect what's been reported to BLS — not what any specific employer will offer you. A “median salary of $120,000” means half the surveyed workers earned more, half earned less. Your actual offer could be significantly different based on experience, company size, industry, and negotiation.

The tax calculator is an approximation. It won't match your actual paycheck exactly — there are too many variables (pre-tax deductions, local taxes, filing status, credits). Treat it as a ballpark, not financial advice.

If you're making decisions about jobs, relocation, or salary negotiations, talk to a professional who knows your specific situation. We're a data reference, not advisors.

What you can do

• Look up salary data for personal or professional research
• Use the calculator and comparison tools
• Export salary reports for your own use
• Link to any page on the site from other sites

What you can't do

• Scrape or bulk-extract data from the site without asking first
• Republish our data in bulk without attribution
• Try to break or overload the site
• Use it for anything illegal

Email subscriptions

If you subscribe to salary alerts or give us your email for a report, we'll send you exactly what you asked for — nothing more. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We won't add you to marketing lists you didn't sign up for.

Who owns what

The salary data comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — that's public domain. Our site design, code, and the way we present the data belong to LocalSalaryHub. If you cite our pages, please attribute both us and the BLS.

External links

Job listings link out to Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and Coursera. Those are their sites, not ours. We're not responsible for what happens after you click through.

Liability

We built this tool to be as accurate and useful as possible, but we can't guarantee the data is error-free or that it applies to your situation. If you make a decision based on what you found here and it doesn't pan out, that's on you — not us. We provide the data as-is, with no warranties of any kind.

Changes

We might update these terms from time to time. The date at the top will always reflect the current version. Continued use after changes means you're OK with the updated terms.
