Stack Overflow Salary Calculator

What a missed opportunity to gather data on all the countries they don't support yet by at least allowing you to see how you are vs the supported countries and using the data to start supporting more.

I thought of myself as somewhat overpaid, but the 50th percentile for my job/location/experience was $5k off from my actual salary. Now I want to check out the listings. Part of the point, perhaps?

But where in the form do I put in the fact that I use spaces instead of tabs, to let them know that I should be making more?

Not really an exhaustive list of positions... Anyways the figures for my area are well off and I suspect London-tainted.

I'm surprised they don't have a box at the bottom, after you get your results, that says, "How did we do? What is your current salary?"

Seems broader than I expected. Entered several different roles, technology, etc in the calculator and got pretty much identical results. I am in Chicago though, that might have something to do with it.
