How These Estimates Work

US median salary data from Bureau of Labor Statistics, Glassdoor, and Levels.fyi for 10 cybersecurity roles.

02

Experience multiplier

Adjusted for years in role: entry-level (0.75x), mid (1.0x), senior (1.35x), lead (1.7x).

03

Location adjustment

Cost-of-living multipliers based on Numbeo, Mercer, and ECA International 2026 data, converted to local currency.
