The score runs from 0 to 100. It compares what an hour of your time pays with what an hour pays for someone in your occupation, with your experience, in your metro area, working a standard week. 60 means break-even: you earn exactly the going rate for that time. Around 80 you earn about twice the going rate, and 92 and up is the top tier, Unicorn Job. On top of that, manager, team, flexibility, overtime pay and similar conditions add or take off up to 10 points.

It comes from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data: median pay for full-time wage and salary workers, then adjusted by your occupation group, your experience and the pay level of your metro area (only half of the city gap, since occupation already explains most of it). Pay differs a lot by occupation, so a nurse and a cashier shouldn't be measured against the same number. Education only comes in if you pick "Other / prefer not to say"; once you name an occupation, you are compared with people doing the same work. Your school and employer type don't change the going rate.

We take your pay per hour of your time, scale it to a standard full-time week, and place that income on the BLS distribution of full-time wage and salary earnings in the U.S. (10th to 90th percentile; beyond that it is extrapolated and capped between 1% and 99%). So it compares you with other full-time U.S. employees, not with people in your occupation. It is an estimate: the survey's top earners are capped, and bonuses are mostly left out. The 0 to 100 score itself never reaches 100; the closer to the top, the harder each extra point is to earn.

No need to look up exact numbers. Salary, PTO, hours and commute are all ranges, so pick the closest one. If you can't find your PTO or holidays, choose "Not sure": the calculator estimates a number and your report marks it as an estimate. There's also an option for when you can't remember your sick days. Overtime doesn't get its own hours question; it goes into your hours at work each day: from the time you arrive until you leave, lunch and overtime included, plus evening emails and calls. Your commute is a separate question.

It comes down to whether the extra hours earn you anything back. If they turn into time off, pick "Comp time". If you get neither money nor time off, pick "Nothing extra (exempt)". If you almost never work late, pick "Comp time": it's the neutral option that neither adds nor takes away, and it doesn't mean you actually get comp time. Your overtime hours aren't counted here; they're already in your hours at work each day.
