What is this? Before hiring an H-1B worker, a U.S. employer must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor stating the wage it will pay. This site aggregates those offered wages — it is not a record of actual salaries paid. Methodology →

H1B salary questions, answered

What is the H1B salary database?

It is a searchable collection of the wages U.S. employers attest they will pay H-1B workers on certified Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) filed with the Department of Labor. Every H-1B hire requires an LCA, so the database covers virtually all H-1B sponsorship activity.

Where does the H1B pay data come from?

Directly from the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification, which publishes LCA disclosure files every quarter. This site refreshes from those official files each quarter — currently covering fiscal years 2023 through 2026.

Are these actual H1B salaries?

They are the offered wages employers committed to on their filings, which they are legally required to pay. Actual compensation can include bonuses and benefits not shown here, so treat the figures as the employer's attested pay floor for the role and location.

How do H1B wage levels work?

The DOL classifies prevailing wages into four levels — Level I (entry), Level II (qualified), Level III (experienced), Level IV (fully competent). Under the wage-weighted H-1B lottery, higher wage levels get more lottery entries, so the level mix on this site also hints at lottery odds.

What is PERM?

PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is the Department of Labor's system for certifying the first step of most employment-based green cards. Like the H-1B program, PERM filings disclose offered wages by employer — our PERM salary data section covers it.
