How we calculate these numbers

LatAm rates are based on aggregated 2026 data from job postings, Stack Overflow surveys, and partner network benchmarks across major markets. US rates reflect fully loaded costs (salary + benefits + overhead) from Levels.fyi and BLS data. Actual rates vary by engagement model, English proficiency, and specialization. For a full breakdown of sources, methodology, and why different datasets disagree, see the compensation report.
