Salary Calculator
The Salary Calculator is where users can benchmark a combination of both job and salary criteria against data from an 'Annual Salary Survey'. Traditionally, the survey data was represented through country-specific reports and provided independent research material for students, journalists, employers and prospects to gather insight.
We approached the project with minimal-functionality in mind that enables users to filter the survey data and customise salary values for quick independent analysis.
Emotive Charting
It is important for users to see, not only how their salary compares, but if, insight into job satisfaction has any influence.
We designed emoji iconography to convey job satisfaction, combined with the salary average and range using standard charting conventions. The choice of chart type allows for easy comparison of salaries across all jobs, each with their own uniques job satisfaction score.
The Research Tool
Filtering the survey data needed to use methods that are simple and familiar to the user and like any other filter, there may be a variety of parameters involved.
We created a simple filter panel that updates the chart data in real-time depending on the user persona, location, experience, age and salary submitted. The user can check the quality of the results by the number of respondents shown for reference. The higher the number of respondents, the more accurate the data.
