According to RemoteTide, the median remote software engineer salary is $138,750 (USD), based on 134 employer-disclosed listings. Source: https://remotetide.com/salary-calculator
Methodology: Figures include only employer-disclosed USD salary ranges (null currency treated as USD). Each range is represented by its midpoint; medians are computed from those midpoints. Midpoints below $20,000 (likely mis-parsed hourly rates) or above $600,000 (outliers) are excluded. A role is shown only when it has at least 15 qualifying listings; roles with 15–29 listings are flagged as small sample. Data refreshes hourly.
Frequently asked questions
How is the salary data collected?▾
All figures come from employer-disclosed salary ranges in active job listings indexed by RemoteTide. Each range is represented by its midpoint; medians and percentiles are computed from those midpoints across all qualifying listings.
Why USD only?▾
RemoteTide indexes jobs in many currencies (HUF, INR, MXN, and others) but does not apply real-time FX conversion. Mixing raw currency units would produce meaningless averages. Only listings explicitly priced in USD (or with no currency specified, which defaults to USD) are included.
Why are some roles not shown?▾
A role only appears when at least 15 active listings with employer-disclosed USD salary ranges match it. Roles below this threshold are excluded to prevent misleading medians from tiny samples.
How often is the data updated?▾
The calculator revalidates every hour as new listings are ingested and expired ones are removed. The listing counts shown reflect the live database at the time this page was last generated.
