Base, bonus and the offer you should compare
Confirm which degree or experience category applies, then separate base, sign-on, relocation and year-end bonus. Monthly internship pay should be multiplied by the actual paid period, not compared as annual cash.
First-year cash
Add base salary, signing money and a written guaranteed bonus. Keep a discretionary target separate and check whether signing or relocation money must be repaid if you leave.
Recurring compensation
Remove one-time payments, check whether guarantees expire, and ask how performance pay is assessed. Compare the same office, currency, seniority and job responsibilities.

How to read these salary figures
A posting is one observation
Each row links to an employer disclosure and identifies the role, location, pay period and review date. A posted range is not a measured average of employee earnings, an accepted offer, or a hiring guarantee.
Keep base and bonus separate
Base pay excludes discretionary bonuses unless the source explicitly says otherwise. We do not estimate an undisclosed bonus or turn a base range into a total-compensation claim.
Match the role and pay period
Compare the same location, experience requirements and work period. Internship rates remain in their original units. An annualized rate is not the summer paycheck: use the paid duration to estimate program earnings. See the internship pay examples.
Check the original source
Each disclosure has its own review date. When a later check finds a role is no longer listed, we keep its historical pay with that status beside it and exclude it from the summary ranges and charts. A review date is not a promise the job remains open. This is a selected set of postings, not a representative salary survey.
