Question 1

Is the Paralegal median base pay or total compensation?

Accepted Answer

Base only, whenever we have enough listings to publish a figure. Bonus, commission, equity and signing bonuses are excluded, because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.

Question 2

Where does the Paralegal salary data come from?

Accepted Answer

Real job listings ingested via LandEarly in the last 90 days - not a survey, not a model. Each listing contributes its pay midpoint, the average of the minimum and maximum it states. Listings without a usable annual range are excluded from the maths entirely.

Question 3

What is the salary range for Paralegal roles?

Accepted Answer

Not enough priced listings to publish a reliable range yet. We show it once a role reaches 5 listings stating a pay range in the 90-day window.

Question 4

How current is this?

Accepted Answer

The window is the last 90 days and it rolls forward as we ingest new postings - this page rebuilds every six hours. A listing that ages out of the window drops out of the median; nothing is carried forward or back-filled.

Question 5

Why do some nearby titles show no number?

Accepted Answer

A role needs at least 5 priced listings in the window before we publish a median. Below that we show the listing count instead, and that role's guide says so plainly rather than printing a figure computed from a handful of postings.
