Where these numbers come from
Every entry is self-reported and anonymous — from the DesignX salary survey and from members who add their own numbers. Entries in other currencies are converted to USD; local figures here use a fixed rate, so treat them as a guide, not a quote. We only publish a page once a group has at least 10 entries.
