Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my salary is below market in India?+

Compare your CTC against role, experience, city, and company-type benchmarks. SalaryScope AI maps your compensation to P25, P50, and P75 percentiles using 2026 Indian tech market data so you know exactly where you stand before appraisals or job switches.

What is a good salary for a software engineer in India in 2026?+

It varies sharply by city and employer type. A senior engineer in Bangalore at a product company often earns ₹28–55 LPA, while the same profile at IT services may sit at ₹18–28 LPA. Percentile benchmarking matters more than generic averages.

How accurate is an AI salary benchmark report?+

SalaryScope AI combines structured intake data, market benchmarks, and AI analysis to produce role-specific reports with salary, switch, and appraisal scores. It is designed for career decisions — not tax filing — and cites methodology transparently.

Should I negotiate salary during appraisal or switch jobs?+

If you are more than 15–20% below P75 for your role and city, external offers often reset compensation faster than annual hikes at IT services firms (typically 5–8%). Benchmark first, then choose negotiate vs switch based on your percentile gap.

Is SalaryScope AI free to use?+

The in-hand salary calculator is free. Full AI career intelligence reports with percentile benchmarks, switch verdicts, and negotiation guidance start from ₹49 per report.

Stop leaving money on the table.

Built for Indian tech professionals who want to negotiate better offers and understand their market leverage with data, not guesswork.
