How to read Quantitative Researcher pay data.

What is available?

8 supported pay benchmarks across 8 employers in Chicago, IL. Base-pay benchmarks describe salary or offered wages; stock and bonus may be unavailable. Missing components stay undisclosed.

How current are the numbers?

This coverage was last refreshed Oct 18, 2026. Each row shows its own measurement period. A collection date can differ from the year when compensation was earned or a wage was offered.

Can I use this to compare an offer?

Match the employer, career level, currency and location first. Compare base pay separately from total compensation. Offered-wage filings, published salary ranges and compensation reports describe different populations. Build your offer comparison.

Public pay cohorts need at least five samples. Counts can overlap, so they are not added together into a worker total. Coverage reflects available records and does not represent every employer or employee. Read the methodology.

Know the number behind the number.

Base wages, total compensation, source estimates, and employer ranges are measured separately. Sample counts and reporting periods travel with every benchmark.
