Salary band calculator
Give the midpoint of your first band and your last. The tool builds the whole structure, with the minimum, midpoint and maximum of every band. Bands step up by percentage rather than by fixed dollars, which is what stops a structure collapsing in on itself at the top.
Updated July 26, 2026
A 40 % spread means the bottom of a band sits 20 % under its midpoint and the top 20 % over. Between 30 and 50 % is the usual range. The wider the band, the longer somebody can progress without changing job.
Your structure
Enter your two midpoints to build the structure.
How this is calculated
Midpoints step up by a constant percentage. A $5,000 step is a big raise at the bottom of a structure and a rounding error at the top, so equal dollar steps compress the senior bands into each other. A constant percentage makes every step feel like the same size of move to the person taking it.
