Research Salary Benchmarks
Look up salary ranges by role, location, and company to benchmark compensation and prepare for negotiations.
Quick answer: Use the Job Search tool through ToolRouter to research salary benchmarks directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolNegotiating a salary without market data means guessing. You either leave money on the table by anchoring too low, or lose an offer by anchoring unrealistically high. Real salary data by role, location, and company makes both situations avoidable.
The estimate_salary and company_salary skills return salary ranges based on role, location, experience level, and — where data is available — specific company pay data. You can benchmark an offer you have received, research before entering a negotiation, or compare compensation across companies for the same role.
Job seekers preparing for offer negotiations, HR teams calibrating pay bands, and managers benchmarking team compensation all use this to make data-backed decisions instead of relying on secondhand information.

Claude turns salary data into negotiation preparation. Run estimate_salary and company_salary for your role and location, then ask Claude to contextualise the ranges — what factors push toward the upper end, what the data suggests about the specific company you are evaluating, and how to frame your ask.
How to research salary benchmarks
Once connected (see setup above), use the Job Search tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- Ask: "Use job-search to get salary estimates for a senior product manager in London"
- Claude returns salary ranges by experience level and location
- Ask: "Also pull company_salary data for [specific company]"
- Ask Claude to contextualise the data and suggest an anchoring strategy for negotiation
Example prompt
Try this with the Job Search tool
Use job-search to research salary benchmarks for a senior software engineer role in San Francisco. Run estimate_salary and also check company_salary for Google, Meta, and Stripe. Tell me what the market range is, how each company compares, and what salary I should anchor to in a negotiation.
Tips
- Pull both estimate_salary and company_salary to compare market-wide ranges against specific company data
- Ask Claude to note which data points have stronger evidence versus sparse samples
- Use the range context to prepare your anchoring number — typically the upper quartile for strong performers
