Why salary transparency matters in 2026
Most candidates negotiate within 5% of the offer they’re given because they don’t know the real range. Indian tech salaries especially have huge variance — a Senior Software Engineer at Razorpay earns ₹60–100 LPA, while the same title at TCS earns ₹15–25 LPA. Knowing where you fit on the percentile curve is the single biggest negotiation lever.

Frequently asked questions
How are these salary ranges calculated?▾
Aggregated from Levels.fyi, AngelList India, Naukri 2025-2026 reports, Glassdoor, and verified recruiter postings. Shown as percentiles (P25/P50/P75/P90) — more honest than a single "average" number.
Why are Indian salaries so much lower than global?▾
India market generally has lower nominal salaries but high purchasing power parity (PPP). A ₹40 LPA salary in Bengaluru roughly matches the lifestyle of a $150K salary in San Francisco when adjusted for cost of living.
Do these include stock / RSU compensation?▾
The percentile ranges (P25/P50/P75/P90) show base salary only. The "top company ranges" listed below the percentile bar include total compensation (base + RSU + bonus) — that's why those numbers look higher.
How is this different from Glassdoor?▾
Glassdoor data skews older and US-heavy. This calculator combines current Indian data (Naukri 2025-2026, AngelList India, recruiter sources) with global data (Levels.fyi). Side-by-side India + global lets you benchmark across markets — useful for remote / relocation decisions.
Is this calculator accurate?▾
Numbers are based on 2025-2026 data. Salary ranges shown as percentiles reflect real distribution, not a misleading average. Top-company ranges sourced from public Levels.fyi data and verified Indian recruiter postings. Updated quarterly.
