Percentiles indicate the position of a specific value in a set of data points. In the Birches Group surveys, jobs are matched to a BG-level. The salaries of the jobs falling within the same level are then arranged from lowest to highest. Percentiles are then captured accordingly from this arrangement to indicate the position of the value in the set.

Below is a sample data set:

You may watch a demonstration computation of percentiles in the full report walkthrough video, starting at 11:35.

The Birches Group’s surveys use a unique methodology that is job-focused. As such, non-job factors like inflation and cost-of-living are not accounted for in the survey results.
