How we worked this out
We took every software engineer listing on our United Kingdom board from the last 6 months that states its pay, open or closed. The listings come from Adzuna and the other job feeds we use. Pay is as stated in the ad.
We turned each figure into a yearly one: hourly pay times 2,080 hours, daily pay times 260 days, weekly pay times 52 and monthly pay times 12. A range counts as its midpoint. Figures under 10,000 or over 1,000,000 a year were left out as feed errors. The lowest-to-highest range also leaves out any figure more than three times the median.
