FAQ
Questions people often ask
What does the range width mean?
A 30% band means the total range is 30% wide, or +/-15% from the midpoint. Adjust based on how flexible the role is and how competitive the market feels.
Is this a market pricing tool?
No. It is a quick internal calculator to frame a range once you already know your midpoint.
