How the figure is worked out
Every live Planner advert on the board is read for its stated pay, converted to a yearly figure, and recorded in a dated snapshot. Snapshots are never overwritten, which is where the month-by-month table comes from.
Adverts that state no pay (competitive, negotiable, depending on experience) are counted in the total and left out of every figure, which is why the share stating pay is printed beside the sample.
Nothing is estimated. Below 5 adverts stating pay this site publishes no figure and says how many it has. The full method.
