Salaries
What remote work pays
The data is being prepared. The pay table appears once enough vacancies have accumulated.
What these figures actually mean
These are not local market salaries. They are what international companies pay for roles where the candidate's location is not restricted. That is what makes the figures reachable without relocating: they are the pay for working from where you already live.
Two things to keep in mind. First, most employers publish no pay at all, so the table reflects the part that disclosed. Second, on a contractor agreement the taxes and the social contributions are on your side, which makes the same gross figure not directly comparable with a local salaried offer.

Frequently asked questions
Where do these figures come from?
They are computed over Donator's own list of vacancies: of 0 active remote adverts, 0 published pay. This is not a survey and not a translation of someone else's research, but an analysis of the adverts on this board.
Why is not every category in the table?
A category enters the table only when at least eight employers in it published a figure. Fewer than that does not make a median, only noise.
Why are these figures so high?
Because publishing pay is not voluntary everywhere. New York State, California and several other jurisdictions require an employer to publish a range, and those are where the highest-paying technology companies sit. The table therefore reflects the part of the market that disclosed a figure rather than the market average. The rest, which is most vacancies and the lower-paid ones, publish nothing.
Are these amounts take-home?
No. This is the gross pay the employer declared. On a contractor agreement the taxes are your own responsibility, and for the regime that applies to you, ask your country's tax authority.
How is an annual figure derived from an hourly rate?
An hourly rate is converted at 1760 working hours a year, a monthly one over twelve months. Only USD, EUR and GBP go into one table, because mixing an unknown currency would corrupt the median.
