Salary data you can actually trust.
Median pay by occupation and country — in local currency, USD, and PPP (purchasing power), from official statistics, with every caveat spelled out. An answer, not a data dump.
{ "US": { local: "$82,732", usd: 82732, pps: 82732 }, "DE": { local: "€79,200", usd: 85531, pps: 102601 }, "BR": { local: "R$87,300", usd: 16166, pps: 33906 }, "stat_type": "median", "note": "median · PPP-normalized · sourced" }
Two ways to ask.
One request, one comparable answer. Query any occupation across countries — normalized and sourced.

Plug straight into Claude and AI agents as a tool. No glue code, no data pipeline to build.

Small, honest, and growing.
Today: 15 occupations across 6 countries — the U.S., Brazil, and Europe — from official statistics. We'd rather cover less and be right than claim everything and guess.
Every number tells you what it is.
The data is public and free. The value is the harmonization — and never hiding a caveat. Here's a real answer, every field labeled:
{
"value_original": "87300.00", "currency_original": "BRL", // local currency
"value_monthly": "6715.38", "pay_periods_per_year": 13, // R$/month = annual / 13 (incl. 13th)
"value_usd": "16166.00", // normalized to USD
"value_pps": "33906.00", // purchasing power (PPP)
"stat_type": "median", // median or mean
"isco_level": "detailed", // role- or group-level
"reference_year": 2024, "is_estimated": true,
"source": "RAIS",
"comparability_note": "annual = monthly x 13 (incl. 13th)"
}
