TrueSalary organizes public compensation records so candidates, employees, researchers, and hiring teams can compare pay by employer, title, location, and year.

The data is strongest for base-salary research. H-1B filings and public payroll disclosures usually do not include equity, bonuses, benefits, or every private-market role.

What does an H-1B salary mean?

H-1B salary records usually reflect reported base salary, not total compensation. They are useful for market context but should be read alongside equity, bonus, level, and location information.

Where does the data come from?

TrueSalary aggregates public records from government disclosure systems, including U.S. Department of Labor filings and California public salary disclosures.

How should I use it?

Use the search tool to check salary ranges before interviews, compare employers in a city, study job-title patterns, and spot outliers that deserve deeper research.
