Data Methodology & Authenticity

Eleanor Vance
Eleanor Vance(Credentials)
Lead Data Editor
01Official BLS Sources

Aggregated directly from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) OES National Dataset. This matrix continuously analyzes over 45,000+ verified tax and payroll records locally.

02Inflation Alignment

Raw historical BLS data is algorithmically projected to 2026 using a dynamic compound inflation adjustment model to reflect real-time economic buying power.

03IRS Tax Deduction Engine

Every wage band is meticulously processed through our proprietary 50-state local tax engine. We evaluate your gross base against 2024 progressive IRS Federal, FICA, and exact localized state tax brackets, guaranteeing highly precise "Net Take-Home" data streams rather than simple baseline median averages.

04HUD Fair Market Rents

Our housing affordability indices bypass estimation completely. We anchor localized rental deductions against empirical datasets published by the **U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)**, locking onto exact MSA-level 1-Bedroom Fair Market Rents (FMR).

05DoL H-1B Verification

Top-tier data logic is cross-audited against the **U.S. Department of Labor OFLC LCA Disclosures**. We ingest millions of records to extract verified base salary offers directly from established Big Tech giants (Google, Meta, Apple), stripping out low-confidence projections.
