Question 1

How does the salary analyzer work?

Accepted Answer

You enter your job title, experience band, and city (plus optional current salary and skills). Our AI estimates the typical market range for that exact profile — shown as percentiles from p10 to p90 — along with demand level, market trend, and specific negotiation guidance. If you've saved a resume on ApplyVita, it calibrates the estimate to your actual seniority and skills.

Question 2

How accurate are the salary ranges?

Accepted Answer

They're informed estimates of typical market ranges, not survey results — we're honest about that. Real offers vary by company, team, and negotiation. Use the range as an anchor: it tells you whether an offer is low, fair, or strong for your profile, which is exactly what you need walking into a negotiation.

Question 3

Does it work for Indian salaries?

Accepted Answer

Yes — India is a first-class market. Ranges for Indian cities are shown in ₹ LPA (annual), covering Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and more. Global cities (US, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, Singapore, Europe) are shown in USD.

Question 4

Is the salary analyzer free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you get 3 full analyses free with no signup and no credit card. Creating a free account keeps your work saved and unlocks the rest of the toolkit; paid plans unlock unlimited analyses, so you can compare roles, cities, and competing offers side by side.

Question 5

What are salary percentiles (p10, p50, p90)?

Accepted Answer

Percentiles show how pay is distributed across a market. p50 (the median) is what a typical person with your profile earns; p25–p75 is the normal band; p90 is what the strongest negotiators and top companies pay. If your current salary is below p25, you have a strong case to negotiate.

Question 6

Should I share my current salary?

Accepted Answer

It's optional. If you do, we show exactly where you stand against the market — which percentile band you're in and the gap to the median — so you know whether to push, and by how much. We never share your inputs.

Question 7

Is it spelled salary analyzer or salary analyser?

Accepted Answer

Both, and they mean the same tool. "Analyzer" is the American spelling; "analyser" is standard in the UK, India, Australia and most of the Commonwealth. This page is the same free salary analyser either way — enter your role, experience and city and you get the same percentile range, demand read, and negotiation playbook. Nothing about the result changes with the spelling you typed to get here.

Question 8

How do I use this in a negotiation?

Accepted Answer

Anchor against the range, not your current salary. Every analysis includes a negotiation playbook plus a ready-to-say counter script using your actual numbers. Pair it with our role-by-role salary guides for the fuller picture.
