Dig into the data
An estimate, not an offer. How it works
How the estimate works
We start from the national average pay for your role, adjust it for your state or city, then factor in your experience, education, work setting, and shift. The result is an estimate — a starting point for your own research, not a guaranteed offer. The exact adjustment factors are on the methodology page.
Calculator FAQ
- Is the calculator result a verified salary?
- No — the calculator gives you an estimate. It starts from the national pay for the role you choose, then adjusts for location, experience, education, setting, and shift. Treat the result as a starting point for your own research, not a guaranteed offer.
- Does the estimate include overtime and shift differentials?
- Only if you opt in. The base estimate is a standard full-time wage; toggling the overtime and differential options adds a night/rotating-shift premium and time-and-a-half for hours beyond 40 per week. These add-ons are rough and clearly noted in the result.
- Why is travel or specialty pay shown as a lower-confidence estimate?
- Travel and specialty nursing aren't measured as separate roles, so those results start from registered-nurse pay with a typical difference applied. They're a useful starting point but carry more uncertainty than the roles that are measured directly.
