Salary Range Setting Worksheet

Table output Has example

Set a fair, defensible range for a role.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Help me set a pay range for a role. Role, level, and location: [ROLE_LEVEL_LOCATION]. Budget available: [BUDGET]. Current pay of people in similar roles (anonymized): [INTERNAL_PAY_DATA]. Market data I have (with source and date): [MARKET_DATA]. Pay transparency rules I know of: [TRANSPARENCY_RULES].

Walk through: the job's scope and level criteria; how the role compares with internal peers; the market data's quality (sample size, date, comparability) and which figures to trust; a proposed range with minimum, midpoint, and maximum (show the arithmetic: range spread = (maximum - minimum) / minimum, with a spread suited to the level, which I should confirm against our pay policy); where a new hire with typical experience would sit and why; and the effect on current employees (compression or fairness gaps), listing the cases to review.

Produce a table: Component | Value | Source | Confidence. Add a check for fairness across gender and other protected groups using the internal data as a prompt for review, not proof, and a script (80 words) for explaining the range to a candidate. Pay transparency and equal pay laws differ by place; flag questions for an employment lawyer in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Do not invent market figures.

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Role: Marketing Manager, level 3. Internal peers: 58,000, 61,000, 66,000. Market data (survey, 2025, n=34): median 62,500, 25th percentile 57,000, 75th 69,000.
Proposed range: minimum 56,000, midpoint 62,500, maximum 70,000. Spread = (70,000 - 56,000) / 56,000 = 25 percent (confirm with pay policy).
New hire with 5 years' experience would sit at 60,000 to 63,000.
Compression: the 58,000 peer would be 1,000 above the 56,000 minimum but 4,500 below the midpoint; review whether a raise is due.
Fairness prompt: peer pay by gender shows no gap above 3 percent, with n = 3, which is too small to conclude.
Candidate script (80 words) states the range openly. Pay transparency laws vary [VERIFY].
