The midpoints in surveys reflect the national averages and medians for each position. To customize the survey data for your local market, you have to multiply the local variances – listed below and technically called geographic wage differentials if you want to impress your boss – by the national salary midpoint for a specific non exempt, exempt or executive position to determine the correct midpoint in your market. The maximum of the range is typically 120% of the midpoint. The minimum of the range is typically 80% of the midpoint.
