How this number is measured

Every figure above is computed from the live postings on Level at the time of measurement, September 2026. Each posting is read for the AI tools and tasks it names, then rated Level 1 to 4. Salaries use the posting's own range, in US dollars only. Numbers are recomputed monthly and the page is updated when they move by more than 10 percent.
